Overview
- The Lima Bar Association urged the Public Ministry to preserve the continuity and institutional protection of special prosecutor teams handling high-complexity cases such as Lava Jato and Cuellos Blancos.
- The group asked the Junta de Fiscales Supremos to issue a technical pronouncement that would provide legal clarity and stability for decisions taken during the current restructuring.
- In its public communiqué, the association argued that the teams’ specialization is an institutional asset that should not be exposed to political or short-term changes.
- The statement emphasized that public confidence in the justice system depends on predictable and firm prosecution of corruption regardless of the prevailing political context.
- La República reported that interim prosecutor general Tomás Gálvez moved to dissolve several special teams, including those for Lava Jato and Cuellos Blancos, ending roles for key coordinators, which the association cited as the context for its call.
