Overview

• Resolutions published in El Peruano formalized the removal of adjuntos supremos Marcial Páucar, Hernán Mendoza and Luis Ballón from posts attached to the Fiscalía de la Nación.
• Marcial Páucar was reassigned to the First Corporate Cybercrime Prosecutor’s Office in Lima Centro, ending his role over illicit enrichment and constitutional complaints.
• Hernán Mendoza, who led the 2024 search of President Dina Boluarte’s home and handled ‘Culebra’ audio inquiries tied to Juan José Santiváñez, was sent to support the Lava Jato team in the anti‑corruption prosecutors’ office.
• Luis Ballón, who pursued the ‘El Diablo’ case implicating the justice minister over alleged influence at the Constitutional Court, returned to a Supreme Criminal Prosecutor post as his designation at the top office was lifted.
• Gálvez installed trusted appointees Ronal Flores Ñañez, Wilfredo Rivera Baltazar, Mariela Salinas and César Ruiz de Castilla in the national office, as legal experts cautioned the changes could weaken ongoing investigations and courts review challenges by suspended chief Delia Espinoza.
