JNJ President Recommends Dismissing Delia Espinoza Ahead of Jan. 22 Oral Hearing

A public hearing on January 22 will allow Espinoza to deliver a 10-minute defense to the JNJ plenary.

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.
