Convicted Ex-Regional Official Gina Gálvez Appears With President as Palace Calls Her a Private Guest

Her first-instance conviction remains under appeal, leaving any disqualification not yet in force.

Overview

  • Investigative reports show Gina Gálvez accompanying President José Jerí at official activities and entering the Government Palace as a “private” visitor, including late-night visits lasting up to 11 hours.
  • Gálvez was sentenced in May to four years and eight months of prison, five years of disqualification, and S/108,000 in civil damages for negotiation incompatible tied to the irregular hiring of seven associates in Áncash in 2020.
  • The Presidency stated she holds no job with the Executive and attends events by personal invitation from Jerí, citing a “bond of fellowship.”
  • The sentence is not final because it was appealed, and she does not appear with any formal appointment or office within the presidential staff.
  • Records also show she worked in 2024 as an adviser to Congress’s Decentralization Commission under Ana Zegarra of Somos Perú and previously overlapped with Jerí in the Áncash regional administration.
