Overview

• Marcial Páucar Chappa was moved by formal resolution from the Illicit Enrichment and Constitutional Complaints unit to the Lima Centro cybercrime office.
• Hernán Mendoza, the prosecutor who led the April 2024 raid of President Dina Boluarte’s residence and office in the Rolex probe, was rotated out of the illicit enrichment area.
• Luis Arturo Ballón was reassigned to the Primera Fiscalía Suprema Penal after previously seeking a 36‑month suspension of Patricia Benavides and handling the “Culebra” case linked to recordings involving Justice Minister Juan José Santiváñez.
• Other moves included the removal of Walter Villanueva, a prosecutor who had requested Gálvez’s suspension in the “Cuellos Blancos del Puerto” matter.
• Analysts and critics say an interim chief should avoid structural changes and caution that the rotations may advantage government figures or slow high-profile cases.
