Peru’s prime minister has resigned over allegations he used his influence to secure government contracts for a 25-year-old woman with whom he had a relationship.

Leaked audio recordings purport to show Alberto Otarola (57) declaring his love for Yazire Pinedo in 2021 at a time when he was not a government minister.
