Early life and education edit

Both Heredia and her husband had parents who raised them in Quechua-speaking households as children.[2]

Career edit

She collaborated in the establishment of the Peruvian Nationalist Party, which she currently leads.[3] She was considered a potential candidate in the 2016 Peruvian presidential election, but chose not to run.[4]

As of 2017, the Peruvian justice system is investigating her for serious cases of corruption,[5] usurpation of power and money laundering. The funds were allegedly used to finance President Ollanta Humala's election campaign.[6] Along with her husband Ollanta Humala, she was arrested on 13 July 2017 in connection with this scandal, and was ordered to be held for 18 months.[7]
