## Political career

Prior to his appointment as prime minister of Peru, Angulo served as a senior prosecutor for the Public Prosecutor's Office and as dean of the Lima Bar Association for one term.[4] In November 2020, he was selected as the presidential nominee for the [right-wing](/source/Right-wing_politics) [Contigo](/source/Contigo_(political_party)) party for the [2021 Peruvian general election](/source/2021_Peruvian_general_election), but was unable to register on time for the election.[4]

## Controversy

In 2006, the [International Freedom of Expression Exchange](/source/International_Freedom_of_Expression_Exchange) (IFEX) criticized Angulo's actions serving as state prosecutor when he charged a journalist with withholding evidence, with IFEX stating that the journalist's actions were not a crime under Peruvian law and that he was attempting to broadcast alleged recordings of National Intelligence Council chief César Almeyda blackmailing Óscar Villanueva, a general.[5]

According to [Voice of America](/source/Voice_of_America), Angulo faced 13 criminal investigations as of his appointment in December 2022, including abuse of authority, abuse of public administration, abuse of public faith, blackmail, extortion and others.[6] *[La República](/source/La_Rep%C3%BAblica_(Peru))* wrote that Prime Minister Angulo faces allegations of sexual harassment of women assistants and supporting the actions of [César Hinostroza](/source/C%C3%A9sar_Hinostroza), who illegally asked for favors from magistrate María Apaza and fled from Peru.[4]
