CNN —Armed police raided Peru’s government palace and the private home of President Dina Boluarte in search of Rolexes and other luxury watches as part of a preliminary corruption inquiry.

After reviewing thousands of photographs of the President, La Encerrona determined that Boluarte owned at least 14 luxury watches.
