Explosive Threat and Letter Left at Lima East Court Demand ‘Chato Deyvis’ Remain Jailed

Investigators are probing gang rivalry following the threat.

Overview

  • Specialist bomb squad officers removed the suspected device from the Ate courthouse entrance and secured the area with no injuries reported.
  • The handwritten note, signed "Los Mexicanos," warned judges and demanded that Deivis Gabriel Cordero Cárdenas, alias "Chato Deyvis," not be released from preventive detention.
  • The Lima East court restricted in-person services at its Nicolás Ayllón headquarters, limiting attention to urgent matters via the filing desk.
  • The National Police and the Public Ministry opened inquiries, with intelligence and forensics teams analyzing the object and the letter’s origin.
  • Police registered a same-day triple homicide in Hualmay and the torching of a Huacho police commander’s vehicle, and they are assessing possible links or reprisals, as judicial workers’ unions pressed for stronger security.
