Peru Prosecutors Press Travel Bans on Ousted Boluarte as Hearings Near

Without presidential immunity, prosecutors can now seek court restrictions in multiple cases.

Overview

  • The judiciary set hearings for October 15 and 16 to evaluate prosecutors’ requests to bar Dina Boluarte from leaving Peru for 36 and 18 months, respectively, with Judge Fernando Valdez Pimentel presiding over the first session.
  • A court officer posted a hearing notice on her door after no response at her residence, and Boluarte later stated she has no intention of leaving the country or seeking asylum.
  • Her lawyer, Juan Carlos Portugal, said she will not attend the October 15 hearing, and that the defense will represent her during the session on the 36‑month request.
  • Prosecutors scheduled October 27–28 confrontations in the ‘Los Dinámicos del Centro’ money‑laundering case to question her over a joint account and alleged transfers linked to Vladimir Cerrón.
  • Interim prosecutor general Tomás Gálvez reinstated Jorge Chávez Cotrina as national coordinator against organized crime, signaling a renewed focus on complex corruption and criminal investigations.
