Peru Court Orders JNJ to Reinstate Delia Espinoza as Prosecutor General Within Two Days

The ruling finds the justice board misapplied a prior precautionary measure, requiring full suspension of the disciplinary case.

Overview

  • Judge Juan Torres Tasso of the Ninth Constitutional Court ordered the National Board of Justice to restore Espinoza to the top prosecutor post within two days of notification.
  • The court held that all four disciplinary charges must be halted because they stem from Article 3 of Resolution 231-2025-JNJ, whose execution had already been suspended.
  • The decision specifies that a partial halt is insufficient, rejecting the JNJ’s approach and mandating a total suspension of the case.
  • The disciplinary process initiated by the JNJ had led to Espinoza’s preventive suspension, which the court now deems paused in its entirety.
  • The order’s compliance window is now running, and any administrative response or appeal from the JNJ remains pending.
