Overview
- Judge Juan Torres Tasso of Lima’s Ninth Constitutional Court directed the National Justice Board to reinstate Delia Espinoza within 48 hours and to suspend the effects of her six‑month suspension.
- Espinoza sent a formal letter to interim chief prosecutor Tomás Gálvez requesting the handover of the office, the designation of a transfer commission, and the suspension of ongoing institutional actions.
- Gálvez said he remains in charge until the JNJ issues a reincorporation act, adding that he will end his interim tenure and formalize Espinoza’s return once he is notified.
- Espinoza’s defense filed a request for clarification on the ruling’s scope, and reports indicate the JNJ has not yet acted, creating procedural uncertainty about the timing of execution.
- Espinoza was suspended by the JNJ on September 19 over four disciplinary charges tied to her refusal to reinstate Patricia Benavides, and internal debates on the future of special prosecutorial teams are slated for review later this month.
