Peru Reinstates Ambassador Fortunato Quesada After Court Nullifies 2018 Dismissal

The ministry acted on rulings that found due-process violations in the case, requiring a fresh disciplinary review.

Overview

  • Peru’s Foreign Ministry formalized Quesada’s return via Ministerial Resolution RM Nº 0610-2025-RE signed by Foreign Minister Elmer Schialer.
  • The step implements final judicial decisions that annulled his 2018 sanctions after serious procedural flaws were identified.
  • The Supreme Court in April 2025 declared inadmissible the ministry’s cassation appeal, leaving lower-court nullifications in force.
  • The disciplinary proceeding must restart from the beginning under proper guarantees, reassessing the 2018 accusations.
  • An internal Torre Tagle inquiry reported manipulated audio recordings and involvement of senior officials, and the ministry is expected to evaluate possible actions regarding those implicated.
