Overview
- INPE reclassified and moved 71 inmates to the Régimen Cerrado Especial in Trujillo on Wednesday, placing them under stricter limits on movement, visits and communications.
- The agency conducted unannounced night requisas at Miguel Castro Castro with support from roughly 200 police and prosecutors, and some inspected pavilions yielded no prohibited items.
- Decreto Supremo N.º 128-2026-PCM put five penitentiaries under a 60-day state of emergency and authorizes the PNP and Armed Forces to control perimeters while INPE intensifies internal searches.
- President Keiko Fujimori visited Trujillo, announced a Comando Unificado to coordinate police-military operations and signaled a revived rewards program to capture top criminal leaders.
- Officials pair security sweeps with infrastructure and El Niño risk inspections, but they say lasting progress depends on judges processing detainees and ongoing intelligence and operational follow-through.
