Lima, December 11 (RHC)-- The former Peruvian president, Pedro Castillo said that the president of the country, Dina Boluarte, the attorney general, Patricia Benavides and the head of Congress, José Williams, are behind a "Machiavellian plan" against him.

Through a letter delivered by Castillo to Congressman Guillermo Bermejo during his visit to the former president at the headquarters of the Directorate of Special Operations (Diroes), where he is being held, he denounced that "a group of camouflaged doctors and a faceless prosecutor" tried to take a sample of his blood without his consent.

"Likewise, today they came back with the same thing for having denied me for my safety and my integrity", reads the letter of former president Castillo.  "I do not rule out that this Machiavellian plan is directed by the Attorney General of the Nation, the President of the Congress, and Mrs. Dina Boluarte", ends the handwritten letter of Pedro Castillo.

For his part, congressman Guido Bellido said through his Twitter account that no intervention can be performed on the former president without the presence of his legal team and a doctor to guarantee his physical integrity.

One day after Pedro Castillo's vacancy was approved by the plenary of the Congress, of opposition majority, the Peruvian justice ordered seven days of preliminary detention for the alleged crimes of "rebellion and conspiracy."
