Jeri's Transitional Cabinet Faces Early Scrutiny Over Ministers' Investigations

The nine-month handover leaves little time to show results on public security.

Overview

  • New reporting says at least two ministers are under active fiscal investigation, intensifying questions about the cabinet’s integrity as it begins governing.
  • Housing Minister Wilder Sifuentes reports five ongoing cases for alleged environmental contamination, incompatible negotiation, aggravated usurpation, and fraud, plus a previously archived money-laundering case.
  • Labor Minister Óscar Fernández acknowledges an active probe for alleged simple collusion, while Economy Minister Denisse Miralles lists two archived cases and a prior administrative suspension at SAT Lima.
  • Several officials, including Premier Ernesto Álvarez, note past processes without clarifying status, as others such as Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio report no investigations.
  • Editorials back the cabinet’s technical profile and press for rapid progress on crime control, election organization, the fiscal deficit, Petro-Perú financing needs, and a decision on the Reinfo regime before its December deadline.
