Overview

• Tomás Gálvez, appointed after the six‑month suspension of Delia Espinoza, issued resolutions published in El Peruano ending the designations of supreme adjunct prosecutors Marcial Páucar, Hernán Mendoza and Luis Ballón.
• The removed prosecutors were handling sensitive files including the Rolex raid linked to President Dina Boluarte and the “El Diablo” and “Culebra” cases that involve Justice Minister Juan José Santiváñez.
• Gálvez named provisional replacements Ronal Ramón Flores Ñañez and Wilfredo Alex Rivera Baltazar and also installed Mariela Alejandra Salinas Loayza and César Emilio Ruiz de Castilla to the attorney general’s office.
• Hernán Mendoza, who led the search of Boluarte’s home and previously sought Gálvez’s suspension, was reassigned to support the Lava Jato team, while Páucar moved to a Lima cybercrime unit and Ballón returns to a supreme prosecutor’s office.
• Gálvez said the investigations into Santiváñez will remain open, as legal analysts caution that removing original case leads risks weakening strategies and deepening instability inside the Ministerio Público.
