In May 2021, the Office of the Prosecutor Against Terrorism opened an investigation against Guido Bellido for the alleged crime of "apology to terrorism", following an interview where he spoke about the Shining Path : "The country was in a disastrous state in 1980. Some Peruvians took the wrong path. Are they Peruvians or not? They have rights. What do you have against the members of the Shining Path?" he had said in an interview with an online media".[6][5][7]
