Overview

  • An official resolution (N.º 2956-2025-MP-FN) designates fiscal supremo Pablo Wilfredo Sánchez Velarde as interim head of the Ministerio Público and notifies the presidency, judiciary and relevant agencies.
  • Delia Espinoza was suspended for allegedly failing to reinstate Patricia Benavides as ordered by the Junta Nacional de Justicia, which opened an ordinary disciplinary process.
  • The Policía Nacional del Perú suspended Espinoza’s state protection; her lawyer says the Interior Ministry and PNP would be responsible for any harm and notes her request to keep security is under review.
  • Eficcop carried out new diligences in Lima and Lurín in the ‘Caso Ícaro’ probe that names Justice Minister Juan José Santiváñez, with the PNP reporting no police order found for the questioned Cieneguilla eviction.
  • A JEE Lima Centro 1 report flags Premier Eduardo Arana for a potential breach of electoral neutrality over a PCM statement defending Fuerza Popular, while Espinoza pursues an amparo and disputes the JNJ procedure.
