Lima Court Fines JNE Prosecutor S/10,700 Over Bid to Stall Unidad Popular Appeal

The chamber said the Constitutional Court’s precautionary order covered only first‑instance acts.

Overview

  • The Primera Sala Constitucional de Lima sanctioned JNE public prosecutor Ronald Angulo Zavaleta with a 20 URP fine, equivalent to S/10,700.
  • Judges declared his request to suspend issuance of their forthcoming judgment improper in the appeal tied to Unidad Popular’s registration.
  • The panel held that the TC’s cautelar only suspended six first‑instance rulings and did not halt the superior chamber’s proceedings.
  • Certified copies of the ruling were sent to the Lima Bar’s Ethics Commission and to the Ministerio Público for possible action.
  • The court cited manifest temerity and bad faith, and it admonished the prosecutor to file motions with proper factual grounding and procedural good faith.
