Description
Peruvian ex-president Pedro Castillo dismissed rebellion charges against him as a farce as he went on trial for an attempt to dissolve Congress to avoid impeachment for alleged graft.
"I cannot submit to an oral trial where everything may be predetermined," Castillo told three judges of the Supreme Court as he made an appearance flanked by two penitentiary agents.
Castillo, a leftist former schoolteacher dubbed Peru's "first poor president" on his election in 2021, was ousted and arrested 17 months into his term. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
