Overview
- The Ninth Constitutional Court of Lima ordered the National Board of Justice to reinstate Delia Espinoza within two days, ruling the board failed to fully comply with an earlier cautionary measure suspending her disciplinary case.
- Judge Juan Torres Tasso held that all charges tied to Espinoza’s suspension must be halted and that her appointment as head of the Public Ministry remains in force pending compliance.
- Interim chief Tomás Gálvez defended removing prosecutors Carolina Delgado and Alejandra Cárdenas, asserting they committed “improper” acts against him and showed ignorance of their functions; both were reassigned to their original posts.
- Delgado and Cárdenas say their dismissals were unjust and coincided with sensitive actions, including a preliminary probe involving Gálvez and a request to advance a hearing related to Patricia Benavides.
- Gálvez confirmed the Junta de Fiscales Supremos postponed to November 19 or 20 a decision on the future of the special prosecution teams, as IDL and the CNDDHH urged his replacement over questions about independence.
