Overview
- The Ninth Constitutional Court in Lima ordered the JNJ to reinstate Delia Espinoza as prosecutor general within 48 hours, prompting her to file repeated motions for immediate execution and to accuse the JNJ of disobedience.
- The JNJ filed a competential claim before the Constitutional Court arguing judicial overreach and requesting that the reinstatement resolution be annulled.
- Espinoza declined to attend a fresh JNJ disciplinary summons, with her defense asserting that all proceedings are suspended under the court’s measures.
- Judge Juan Fidel Torres Tasso told Espinoza he would issue the necessary notices promptly, while interim prosecutor general Tomás Gálvez says no administrative changes will occur without formal notification.
- A congressional special commission approved a reform plan that proposes replacing the JNJ with a new National School of Justice, elevating the institutional stakes of the dispute.
