***Perú.21*** is a [Peruvian](/source/Peru) newspaper based in [Lima](/source/Lima).

## Background

In 2002, *Perú.21* was founded by the economist [Augusto Álvarez Rodrich](/source/Augusto_%C3%81lvarez_Rodrich), and it has quickly become one of the leading newspapers of Peru, known for its provocative caricatures and cartoon publications.[1][2]

## Controversy

In 2012, the official website of *Perú.21* was briefly blocked by the [Government of Peru](/source/Government_of_Peru) after it had published an article criticizing the government's budget management.[3]

A few months later, a former journalist who had earlier worked for *Perú.21* was arrested and imprisoned for hacking into the email accounts of government officials.[4]
