Overview

• The provisional measure removes Espinoza from the posts of fiscal de la Nación and fiscal suprema for six months.
• The National Police withdrew her assigned protection following the suspension and is evaluating her request to maintain security.
• Espinoza’s lawyer, Luciano López, said Interior Minister Carlos Malaver and the PNP director would be responsible for any attack on her safety.
• Within the Junta de Fiscales Supremos, Tomás Gálvez and Pablo Sánchez are seen as frontrunners to assume the leadership of the Ministerio Público.
• Analysts expect Espinoza to seek reinstatement through an amparo, reviving debate over the JNJ’s disciplinary reach when it is also the aggrieved party.
