Overview
- The Supreme Court’s preparatory court scheduled a virtual hearing for Nov. 19 at 8:00 a.m. to assess the Procuraduría’s request to register a provisional civil reparation of S/400,000.
- Procuradora general María Aurora Caruajulca asks that Francisco Sagasti and former interior ministers Rubén Vargas and José Elice be held jointly liable for any reparation.
- Sagasti’s defense opposed the registration of the amount, prompting judicial review during the preparatory phase of the case.
- The petition stems from a National Prosecutor’s Office investigation into alleged abuse of authority related to resolutions that led to the immediate retirement of 18–19 senior PNP officers without valid justification or respect for seniority.
- The judiciary cited Sagasti for Nov. 17 proceedings in the case, and the preparatory investigation opened in May remains active.
