In less than a year, National Prosecutor Patricia Benavides made many trips to different countries. But the question arises about the approval of the new per day scale that has significantly benefited from the supreme authority of the Ministry of Public Affairs since January 2013.
Now per day they vary from US$333 per day if the destination is South America, an average of US$486 per day if it is in Europe, and in the case of visiting a Caribbean country, US$387 per day. According to Hildebrand’s investigation in thirteen, the initiative was approved by the general manager, Edelmira del Carmen Barrantes Pérez,
The week also indicates that a total of 10 trips were made by the National Prosecutor. Benavid’s first trip took place from 25 to 30, 2022 to the country of Chile at the invitation of the national prosecutor of the Ministry of Public Affairs of Chile, Jorge Abbot Charmen.
The following month, in September, he went to the cities of Barcelona and Madrid (Spain) at the invitation of Rafael Suriano Guzmán, head of the European Union Enforcement Support Project in the Fight against Drugs and Organized Crime in Peru.
Similarly, in October of last year, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) sent an invitation to the Ministry of Public Affairs for the First Workshop on Human Trafficking in Latin America and the Caribbean, which will be held in Washington DC from October 25. at 27, 2022. He was traveling with his co-defendant Miguel Ángel Girao Isidro and the accuser Zoila Marianela Sueno Chirinos.
In November of the same year, Patricia Benavides traveled again, but this time to Thailand. The invitation was made by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for Peru and Ecuador. Again, the head of the Ministry of Public Zoila Marianela traveled to Sueno Chirino.
These are followed by trips in March of this year in which he visited the regions of Spain, Switzerland and the Principality of Andorra.
