Overview

• Peru’s Ninth Constitutional Court in Lima granted a provisional injunction that returns Delia Espinoza to the attorney general post.
• Judge Juan Fidel Torres Tasso restored the validity of prior acts that appointed Espinoza in 2024, reversing the immediate effect of her removal.
• The ruling provisionally suspends Article 3 of JNJ Resolution No. 231-2025-JNJ, which had ordered a six-month suspension.
• The JNJ must refrain from any action that would reinstall Patricia Benavides and is instructed to comply with the court order within five days of notification.
• The court also halted the related disciplinary process against Espinoza, as she vowed to reorganize the Ministerio Público and criticized interim changes by Tomás Gálvez, while her lawyer said the JNJ must execute the mandate.
