Several Leftist Latin American leaders have actually dealt with criminal charges in current years.
A week back, he was sitting at his governmental desk– now Peru’s previous leader Pedro Castillo beings in a jail cell.
Impeached by the very same parliament he attempted to dismiss, he deals with disobedience charges. Earlier criminal examinations continue.
His elimination came the exact same week as Argentina’s vice president, Cristina Kirchner was founded guilty of corruption.
The previous president’s resistance keeps her out of prison, however unless she wins any appeal, her political profession will be over.

So, why have a number of present left-wing leaders in Latin America been under examination?
