Overview

  • Resolution 2958-2025-MP-FN, published in El Peruano, officially named Tomás Gálvez interim head of the Ministerio Público.
  • The measure cites Junta de Fiscales Supremos Agreement 097-2025 and JNJ Resolution 143-2025 that suspended Delia Espinoza.
  • The appointment is set for six months or until a new disposition, and the resolution bears Gálvez’s signature in his interim capacity.
  • Gálvez said he is evaluating the removal of Lava Jato prosecutors Rafael Vela and José Domingo Pérez, while urging an end to internal confrontation.
  • Support came from Fujimorista legislators and Congress president José Jerí, as scrutiny persisted over reported ties to the 'Cuellos Blancos' case, a 2022 archived accusation, a recent meeting with lawyer José Luis Castillo, and his shelving of a complaint involving Jerí.
