Police on Wednesday raided the private home of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, local media reported, as a search for his corruption-accused sister-in-law continued under a court-issued warrant.

Castillo himself is the subject of five criminal investigations, including for graft, and has survived two impeachment attempts since taking office in July last year. Images broadcast on several television channels showed agents entering Castillo's home in the rural, northern Cajamarca region on Wednesday.
