Tripping in Russia

Brother of Peru's president-elect speaks about controversial trip

 

"Ollanta had no knowledge of the trip. Even I only found out about the agenda when I arrived in Europe. I think he only found out when the news broke in the media," the younger Humala said.

He said that he deeply regretted not consulting with Humala's transition team before making the trip. "I acted in an imprudent manner, it's true, but there was nothing under-the-table or unethical," said Alexis.
