The Lava Jato Commission of the Congress will question José Miguel Castro, former manager of the Municipality of Lima in the management of Susana Villarán.

According to the Congress agenda, José Miguel Castro must go to the investigative commission at 3:00 pm in the Francisco Bolognesi room of the Legislative Palace, wrote El Comercio today.

Castro will have to answer about the Yellow Line Project concession process, the signing of the concession contract for the Vías Nuevas de Lima Project and his participation in the campaign for the “No” to the revocation, regarding this investigation.
