Overview
- An urgent fiscal order dated November 21 instructs the PNP to intensify efforts to locate and detain Óscar Acuña Peralta and Wilton Helmer Broca Alcántara, who remain missing.
- Judge Leky Chagua Payano authorized detention, search and seizure on November 14, but the police operation in Trujillo was executed on November 19, by which time Acuña was not at his residences.
- The intervention yielded three arrests—Aníbal Morillo Arqueros, Jorge Luis Silva Chuma and Luis Álvarez—and the seizure of 27,000 boxes of preserves tied to the probe.
- Prosecutors fault Dircocor for poor synchronization and say the unit was responsible for surveillance and timing, while police leaders say the operation continues and decline to confirm any leak.
- Questions persist over the five-day lag, the choice to deploy the Lima anticorruption unit instead of Trujillo’s capacity, and the political sensitivity given Acuña’s role in APP.
