Overview
- The Noveno Juzgado Constitucional ordered the JNJ to reinstate Delia Espinoza as Peru’s prosecutor general within 48 hours, a deadline she says lapsed on Friday.
- After visiting the Lima court, Espinoza said Judge Juan Fidel Torres Tasso would issue the necessary oficios promptly to execute the ruling.
- Espinoza petitioned for forced execution and requested that notification be sent to interim chief Tomás Gálvez rather than to the JNJ to formalize handover of the post.
- The JNJ maintains the ruling affects only parts of disciplinary proceedings, while Gálvez has publicly said he awaits a formal notification before stepping aside.
- Espinoza skipped a new JNJ citation she views as suspended by the court’s order and is weighing legal action over alleged disobedience, while also threatening a defamation complaint against Congress president Fernando Rospigliosi.
