Judge Orders JNJ Re-Notified, Sets Two-Day Deadline to Reinstate Delia Espinoza as Peru’s Prosecutor General

The order now faces a competence challenge in the Constitutional Tribunal where the JNJ argues the judiciary is overstepping its authority.

Overview

  • The Noveno Juzgado Constitucional in Lima reissued notice to the JNJ after finding the prior service went to the wrong address, again giving two days to reinstate Delia Espinoza.
  • The court directed that Resolution No. 9 of November 10 be served via the JNJ’s electronic inbox and its Miraflores address on Av. José Pardo, authorizing a court specialist to carry out the notification under supervision.
  • Judge Juan Torres Tasso cited noncompliance with his October 13 ruling that ordered Espinoza to continue in office under a precautionary measure.
  • The JNJ filed a competence lawsuit alleging diminished attributions, saying it learned of the two-day order through the media, and arguing the ruling is incongruent for suspending four disciplinary charges when only two processes could be halted.
  • Espinoza did not attend a JNJ proceeding as her defense insists the disciplinary case is suspended by the court’s injunction, leaving her reinstatement unresolved pending the legal dispute.
