Overview

• During a virtual hearing before Judge Juan Torres Tasso of the Ninth Constitutional Court, Delia Espinoza argued the JNJ exceeded its powers and said a “trampa jurídica” left her risking either a congressional accusation or disciplinary sanction.
• Interim fiscal de la Nación Tomás Gálvez confirmed José Domingo Pérez will remain on the Lava Jato team, citing the need for stability during the ongoing trial of Susana Villarán.
• Gálvez issued resolutions reassigning senior prosecutors, moving Marcial Páucar to a cybercrime post, sending Hernán Mendoza to support coordinator Rafael Vela in corruption cases, and designating Luis Arturo Ballón to the First Supreme Criminal Prosecutor’s Office.
• Gálvez met Congress president José Jerí and Prime Minister Eduardo Arana to seek budget support for the Ministerio Público, a push that has prompted questions about prosecutorial autonomy.
• President Dina Boluarte’s lawyer, Joseph Campos, criticized a new preliminary probe Espinoza opened against the president on the eve of her suspension, calling it politically motivated and a repeat of past tactics.
