Overview
- Congress president Fernando Rospigliosi referred to Eduardo Ruiz Sanz, the hip-hop artist known as Trvco/Trvko, as “terruco” during a press conference and persisted after reporters corrected the stage name.
- Ruiz Sanz’s family and legal team announced they will formally request a retraction from Rospigliosi and said they reject attempts to stigmatize the victim.
- Prosecutors have opened a case into the use of firearms at the protest; PNP subofficer Luis Magallanes is under a seven-day preliminary detention as evidence is gathered.
- A second officer, Omar Saavedra, remains under investigation without detention, as authorities review footage and witness accounts from the march in Lima.
- Rospigliosi defended the police, cited laws 32181 and 32291 to oppose preventive detention for officers, and said he has proposed making police and military legally non-liable when using force in specified circumstances.
