Peru Prosecutor Luz Elizabeth Peralta Surrenders After International Arrest Order

The surrender moves forward a control-of-identity hearing in the ‘Oro’ case focused on alleged influence peddling linked to seized gold.

Overview

  • Judge Juan Carlos Checkley is holding a control-of-identity hearing after Peralta turned herself in.
  • The Supreme Court nullified a October 29 release order, leading the court to issue national and international location-and-capture notices.
  • The order directed the PNP, INTERPOL, the judicial warrants registry, and the migration authority to locate Peralta.
  • The National Control Authority imposed a three-month suspension from her post, with enforcement pending due to earlier difficulties serving personal notice.
  • The Fiscalía Suprema continues investigating alleged influence peddling and active bribery in the ‘Oro’ probe, including reports of a purported $1 million payment involving businessman Javier Miu Lei and media figure Andrés Hurtado.
