Overview

• Peru’s National Police confirmed it suspended the security detail previously assigned to Delia Espinoza after her provisional removal, while evaluating her request to keep protection as her lawyer criticized the Interior Ministry and PNP for unequal treatment.
• JEE Lima Centro 1 received a fiscalization report alleging Premier Eduardo Arana may have breached electoral neutrality through a PCM statement that favored Fuerza Popular following Espinoza’s bid to outlaw the party, and will decide whether to open a sanctioning process; Arana denied interference.
• Within the Prosecutor’s Office, the Junta de Fiscales Supremos must choose an interim leader, with Tomás Gálvez and Pablo Sánchez reported as the leading options to replace Espinoza during the suspension.
• Espinoza is pursuing judicial relief through an amparo, with courts set to review a precautionary request, and legal analysts say such actions have previously allowed suspended prosecutors to regain their posts pending final rulings.
• The JNJ’s president’s counsel stated the body acted within its constitutional authority through an ordinary disciplinary process and argued Espinoza’s suspension stems from not complying with the order linked to Patricia Benavides’ reinstatement.
