Overview

• On Friday, September 26 at 10:00 a.m., Judge Juan Torres will hold a virtual hearing on Delia Espinoza’s amparo seeking to declare the JNJ’s June 12 reinstatement order null and unenforceable.
• Espinoza asks the court to order a new JNJ resolution that she argues respects her constitutional rights in the role of fiscal de la Nación.
• The judge will also review JNJ objections over standing and failure to exhaust prior remedies, plus requests to declare the case moot from both the JNJ and Patricia Benavides.
• Benavides participates in the case as a litis consorte facultativa, a status granted by Judge Torres on July 18 due to her legally relevant interest.
• Espinoza remains suspended for six months by a September 19 JNJ decision tied to alleged serious infractions and her refusal to execute the June 12 order; she says she has also petitioned the CIDH and has accused senior prosecutors of declining interim leadership, clearing the way for Tomás Gálvez to take the post.
