Courts Reorder Cases and Concessions in Peru as Security Operations Intensify

Court decisions are triggering immediate changes to custody and road management in Lima.

Overview

  • Peru’s judiciary suspended toll collection at the Villa El Salvador and Punta Negra booths, with Lima’s mayor supervising compliance and saying EMAPE could temporarily take over maintenance if Rutas de Lima fails to provide it.
  • Rutas de Lima stopped charging but labeled the ruling illegal and abusive, arguing it deprives the concessionaire of its remaining revenue.
  • Judge Juan Carlos Checkley revoked the 18‑month preventive detention of former senior prosecutor Elizabeth Peralta, ordering restricted liberty with a S/10,000 bond and conduct rules in an influence‑peddling and bribery probe.
  • Under the LimaCallao emergency, police detained a 17‑year‑old alleged hitman in La Perla and separately arrested ex‑governor Maciste Díaz Abad on a warrant, while violence persisted with a Breña killing and an extortion‑linked blast at a Trujillo clinic.
  • Mexico City authorities and President Claudia Sheinbaum said Simón Levy was detained in Portugal under active warrants as he posted a video denying custody, and in Brazil a Rio de Janeiro police operation reportedly left more than 120 dead as President Lula sent federal officials to the state.
