Overview
- The recommendation, signed on Jan. 14 by JNJ president María Teresa Cabrera, seeks removal for very serious breaches and still requires a plenary vote.
- Investigators cite noncompliance with Resolution 231-2025-JNJ ordering Patricia Benavides’ reinstatement, refusal to receive her on June 16, and failure to convene the prosecutors’ board.
- The report also alleges Espinoza urged staff to remain on the ninth floor to impede Benavides’ return, actions the JNJ says damaged institutional trust.
- The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. in San Isidro, will be livestreamed, and grants Espinoza ten minutes for her oral report with the option to be represented by a lawyer.
- Espinoza remains under a six-month provisional suspension and a separate 10-year congressional disqualification, and she rejects the accusations as unfounded.
