Overview

• The PCM’s Comisión Ad Hoc, in INFORME N° D000001-2025 dated September 25, recommended Muente’s destitución after finding an administrative fault.
• Under procedure, the commission’s report goes to the sanctioning authority, the president of the PCM, who may accept or reject the recommendation.
• Muente denounced the move as an attempt to “capture” Osiptel and called it political persecution for defending regulator autonomy and enforcement actions.
• He argues the training was contracted under public procurement rules and says Contraloría and the Public Ministry found no irregularities, with Servir previously annulling a sanction.
• The case follows a September 2024 suspension later voided by Servir and a May reopening in which the PCM removed him from functions through a precautionary measure.
