Overview
- Peru’s Judiciary ordered Rutas de Lima to stop charging at the Villa and Punta Negra tolls on the Panamericana Sur, and the company complied while denouncing the ruling as illegal and reserving legal rights.
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo inspected the toll sites and said Lima’s municipality is evaluating a temporary administration request to ensure road maintenance if the concessionaire does not fulfill its obligations.
- The state of emergency in Lima and Callao continues with intensified policing, including the capture in Callao of a 17-year-old suspected hitman tied to multiple murders and the ‘Los Babys Chalacos’ gang.
- Violence persists despite the crackdown, with a man shot dead in Breña and an explosive attack on a clinic in Trujillo that police link to extortion, both under investigation.
- Supreme preparatory judge Juan Carlos Checkley revoked the 18‑month preventive detention of former senior prosecutor Elizabeth Peralta, ordering her release under restricted liberty with a S/10,000 cash surety and conduct rules.
