Peru Court Gives 48 Hours to Reinstate Delia Espinoza as Attorney General

The handover remains on hold pending a JNJ resolution that interim chief Tomás Gálvez says is required.

Overview

  • Judge Juan Torres Tasso of the Ninth Constitutional Court ordered the JNJ to reinstate Delia Espinoza within two days and to suspend the effects of its suspension resolution.
  • Espinoza sent a formal letter to interim chief Tomás Gálvez requesting the return of the office, designation of a transfer commission, and a halt to ongoing institutional actions.
  • The JNJ has not issued the implementing resolution, and Espinoza’s lawyers filed a clarification request on the execution mechanism, leaving timing uncertain.
  • Gálvez acknowledged receiving Espinoza’s letter but said he will act only after the JNJ formally notifies her reinstatement, arguing she is not yet in office.
  • Legal commentators warn of potential liabilities for the JNJ if it does not comply, and the future of special prosecutorial teams is under review for a session expected around Nov. 19–20.
