Overview
- The SINTPE-INPE union submitted a criminal complaint to the Ministerio Público accusing José Jerí of abuse of authority, omission of functional acts, improper entry of communication equipment, and endangering public safety.
- Union and staff accounts say roughly 50 advisers and media staff entered Ancón I without mandatory biometric checks and carried phones, communications gear, and weapons, citing prohibitions under Law 29867.
- Penitentiary workers report the operation nearly triggered a riot and call it a technical failure, noting the inmate expected to be showcased had already been transferred to Challapalca.
- The complaint also names PNP commander general Óscar Arriola and general Víctor Revoredo for allegedly providing incorrect information to the president.
- Jerí rejected claims the visits were a media stunt in a TikTok video and defended direct involvement, as critics including former interior minister Juan José Santiváñez question protocol breaches and staff warn the SUNIR proposal could displace career INPE personnel following the resignation of INPE chief Iván Paredes.
