Martin Vizcarra will become the fifth Peruvian ex-president jailed in recent years amid period of political turbulence.
A judge in Peru has ordered ex-president Martin Vizcarra to five months of pre-trial detention over bribery allegations, citing him as a flight risk; he denies the charges, claiming political persecution. Vizcarra joins three other imprisoned ex-presidents amid ongoing political turmoil, with rights groups condemning a recent amnesty law signed by President Dina Boluarte.
