The worst of all is that these equipment, for example in Cusco, are deposited in a damp and dark room, in frank deterioration, the same happens in the other places mentioned, because Castillo is the only one that offers the complete service (training, management and maintenance) of the drones, that is, he did his business thinking about the future. Maybe they will make the complaint, but in Peru everything is corruption and Castillo is part of that corrupt network that is the Ministry of Culture, and just like in the PUCP, it will not happen to him and then everything will be an anecdote, and he will continue to commit crimes of all kind. Castillo is powerful in influences, but he is a decadent intellectual, he means almost nothing at that level and he knows it, but he accepts himself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423725371920868922.post-72369827555433012102020-08-30T21:00:38.550-04:002020-08-30T21:00:38.550-04:00Re the last comment: As I said in the post above, ...Re the last comment: As I said in the post above, I have heard so many allegations of corruption on Castillo’s part, and they seem to be common knowledge. I don’t know the Peruvian news media, but do they have the guts and the independence to investigate these things? I know there have been some reports but they have not really delved deeply into Castillo’s role. Anyone with any ideas, please post them here as a comment.Michael Balterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311614050647338141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423725371920868922.post-61198133551338729882020-08-30T20:41:10.649-04:002020-08-30T20:41:10.649-04:00There is something more serious about the manageme...There is something more serious about the management that Luis Jaime Castillo did when he was vice minister, and that is that taking advantage of his position and that has a drone company, he sold these equipment to the cultural directorates of Cusco, Ayacucho, Trujillo and Lambayeque, where had and still has his corrupt partners who facilitate all these bad deeds in exchange for favors of all kinds. These actions must be registered in the purchases of the time that he was vice minister. This type is the worst that exists in Peruvian Archeology and unfortunately it has already dirtied all the good image of archeology. They must investigate him for all his crimes and go to jail.

It seems highly suspect that the paperwork dragged on for months. Sounds like Trump with Ukraine. You can’t argue there was no corruption just because it wasn’t ultimately successful. Sexual harassment is a manifestation of abuse of power, so it’s absolutely relevant to the overall picture of Castillo’s personality.

A new semester is starting at La Catolica, is he going to teach again? Is any other abuser is teaching?<br /><br /><br />My response: The fact that Burger told colleagues at the time that Castillo was seriously trying to get Yale to give him an honorary PhD is fully relevant to evaluating the question of Castillo’s intent. There is no conflict between reporting on his alleged corruption and the harassment issues, all go to the overriding issue of his abuse of power.Michael Balterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311614050647338141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423725371920868922.post-42627851856487577632020-08-25T14:53:22.545-04:002020-08-25T14:53:22.545-04:00*Shakes head* Luis Jaime Castillo Butters doesn’t ...*Shakes head* Luis Jaime Castillo Butters doesn’t just pimp out students, he also tries to pimp out Peru’s cultural heritage for his benefit.
