The latest images of Alan García with a rifle in his hand before committing suicide

The latest images of the former president of Peru, Alan García shudders. You see how the exmandatario brief dialogue with the agents who had gone to arrest him at home for the Odebrecht affair, then climb the stairs with a rifle in his hand. Moments later, he would commit suicide.

From what you see in the García recording I would have taken the gun from some pocket while climbing the stairs, because in the previous scene, we clearly see that he has nothing in his hands. The sequence lasts only two minutes, produces no ambient sound and has spread amidst strong criticism of the operation that ended in the suicide of the former president.

In the images broadcast by the television series "Cuarto Poder", we can see the last moments of García. He first addresses the agents of the stairwell of his house in Lima, where they went to arrest him. Then he climbs to the first floor of the house and that's when you see that in the hand closest to the wall, he was carrying a weapon.

The agents showed up at the Miraflores neighborhood home in Lima last Thursday to execute a warrant issued by the prosecution. After being informed of the arrest warrant he asked for a few minutes to talk on the phone with his lawyer. It was at that time that he locked himself in his office and then shot himself in the head. He was transferred and operated urgently to Casimiro Ulloa Hospital, where he eventually died.

His family threatened with complaint against the prosecutor's office and the police because she considered that the detention protocol contained flaws that resulted in the suicide of the former president of Peru. At the same time, the public prosecutor's office opened an internal investigation involving the two prosecutors in charge of the case.

The former President of Peru and some of his former collaborators have been investigated by alleged collection of bribes in the construction of two sections of line 1 of the Lima metro, a project to which the Brazilian company Odebrecht was badociated. Garcia ruled Peru in two different ways – from 1985 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2011 -. In November, he unsuccessfully sought asylum in Uruguay after being a refugee at the Uruguayan embbady in Lima.

In addition to Garcia, Odebrecht's corruption plot touches former presidents Alejandro Toledo, Ollanta Humala and Pedro Pablo Kuzcynski, as well as opposition leader Keiko Fujimori. All are awaiting the resolution of their court cases in this country with the exception of Toledo, which is awaiting the extradition of the United States.
