Overview

• Espinoza was formally notified on September 15 that an ordinary disciplinary process had been opened, approved with six votes in favor and an abstention by member Francisco Távara.
• Resolution No. 446-2025 schedules a non-extendable, in-person public hearing for September 19 at 10 a.m. at JNJ’s San Isidro headquarters, giving Espinoza 10 minutes for an oral defense.
• Vice president María Teresa Cabrera proposed the six-month preventive suspension over alleged serious and very serious faults, including failure to execute Benavides’ reinstatement, in a case that could lead to removal proceedings.
• The case file also alleges Espinoza refused to receive Benavides and instructed staff to occupy the Public Prosecutor’s ninth floor to impede the order’s execution; Espinoza maintains she did not commit desacato.
• Espinoza calls the process irregular and improperly notified, says her bid to recuse Cabrera was rejected, and argues the JNJ is overstepping the autonomy of the Junta de Fiscales Supremos that ratified her.
