Overview

• Peru’s National Police notified Espinoza that her personal protection was suspended in line with the JNJ resolution, later stating her request to keep the detail is under evaluation.
• The Justice Board approved the provisional suspension by majority vote after Espinoza’s defense skipped the hearing, citing lack of due process and conflicts of interest.
• The case centers on alleged repeated noncompliance with a June order to reinstate Patricia Benavides and on conduct the JNJ says obstructed that reinstatement, including pressure on staff.
• The resolution was delivered to senior supreme prosecutor Pablo Sánchez, who is positioned to assume interim command of the Ministerio Público under succession rules.
• Espinoza and her lawyer say the process is unlawful and will seek constitutional relief, while the prime minister publicly urged respect for the JNJ decision.
