Overview

• Interim attorney general Tomás Gálvez said he will ask the Supreme Prosecutors' Board to deactivate all special prosecutorial teams, citing politicization and overlap with existing units.
• Gálvez affirmed that prosecutors Rafael Vela and José Domingo Pérez would continue leading their cases even if the special-team structure is removed.
• José Domingo Pérez called Gálvez’s stance workplace harassment and alleged a broader effort to seek impunity by undoing convictions and excluding evidence.
• Pérez said he and Vela are weighing resignations, adding he would not transfer to ordinary anti-corruption posts and could consider work outside the Prosecutor’s Office.
• Experts diverged on the impact: ex–anti-corruption prosecutor Antonio Maldonado warned the change would weaken probes such as Lava Jato and ‘Cuellos Blancos,’ while lawyer Andy Carrión said it could be viable if current case prosecutors remain through judgment.
