Overview
- Peru’s justice board launched a preliminary investigation into suspended prosecutor general Delia Espinoza over an alleged 57‑day delay in reinstating fiscal Azucena Solari, a lapse that could qualify as a serious offense under the Prosecutorial Career Law.
- The JNJ file cites letters of objection Espinoza sent despite being notified of the binding order, following a complaint filed by citizen Luis Miguel Calla.
- The Judiciary admitted the JNJ’s appeal seeking to overturn a precautionary ruling that allowed Espinoza to remain in office, forwarding the case to a higher court without suspensive effect.
- Interim prosecutor general Tomás Gálvez ordered a reorganization of the First Supreme Prosecutor’s Office for crimes by public officials, with the resolutions published October 31 in the official gazette.
- Gálvez ended the assignments of Elena Carolina Delgado, who handled matters tied to the Cuellos Blancos network and inquiries involving Gálvez, and Alejandra Cárdenas, who pursued the thesis‑plagiarism case against Patricia Benavides; Delgado was moved to Sullana, Cárdenas to Arequipa, and Lourdes Téllez was named to lead the office.
