Court Sets Nov. 19 Hearing on State’s S/400,000 Reparation Bid in Sagasti PNP Retirements Case

The State Attorney’s Office seeks civil-party status in the abuse-of-authority probe tied to contested PNP retirements under the transitional government.

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.
