Peru Judge Orders Delia Espinoza Reinstated as Attorney General as She Demands Handover

The ruling gives the National Justice Board two days to comply, tightening pressure on the Public Ministry’s interim leadership.

Overview

  • Delia Espinoza sent a formal letter to interim chief Tomás Gálvez requesting the transfer of the office after a constitutional court ordered her reinstatement.
  • Her letter asks Gálvez to appoint a management transfer commission and to suspend ongoing institutional actions pending her return.
  • Judge Juan Torres Tasso of Lima’s Ninth Constitutional Court ordered the National Justice Board to restore Espinoza to the post within two days.
  • The court also suspended the effects of JNJ Resolution No. 143-2025, which had kept Espinoza suspended despite an earlier precautionary measure.
  • The JNJ argues its suspension stands on four disciplinary charges, and Gálvez has served as interim attorney general since September 22 following her September 19 suspension.
