The return of the gold was completed in 2022, and Siucho mentioned that this was just one of the many efforts that Andres Hurtado would have facilitated using his connections. The doctor emphasized that the return was the “second case in Peruvian history” in which a shipment of seized gold was returned, which reinforces the seriousness of the accusations.
One of Ana Siucho’s most forceful statements was the one referring to the alleged demand for one million dollars by Andrés Hurtado and the prosecutor. Elizabeth Peralta . The doctor explained that the amount was requested in two parts: 500 thousand dollars in cash, initially given to one of Siucho’s brothers, who would then send the money to Hurtado’s entourage.
In the interview with Ortiz, Siucho indicated that Hurtado was careful not to be recorded during the meetings, which is why he used his brothers as intermediaries in the negotiations. “The first conversation took place between Andrés and my brothers because (…) he was probably afraid that they were going to record or film him,” explained Ana Siucho, underlining the hidden nature of the operations.
Siucho also highlighted the large sum involved in the bribery, which would indicate the magnitude of the negotiations and the influence of Hurtado in the case. The doctor also mentioned that the return of the gold, due to its estimated value, generated suspicions about the legitimacy of the efforts and the relationship between Hurtado and prosecutor Peralta, who would have demanded the bribe.

The luxurious vehicle, which Hurtado had publicly presented as a gift from Roberto, was actually given as an alternative to stop requests for money, according to the version of Ana Siucho . “The car was never a gift. “Roberto gave her the car because he no longer had any more money to give her,” the doctor stressed, clarifying the true nature of the transaction.
