Overview
- An East Lima court sentenced three La Huayrona subofficers to six years in prison for cohecho pasivo propio tied to a 2018 demand of S/50,000 to avoid recording a detention.
- The ruling also imposed six years of disqualification from public functions and ordered S/30,000 in joint civil reparations to the State, with the principal perpetrators previously convicted in an earlier case.
- Prosecutors said the officers cooperated with then-major Rafael Jiménez and subofficer Miguel Cáceres in a scheme to omit the detention from the Ministerio Público system, a case proven at trial by fiscal Richter Rengifo Ramírez.
- In Piura, the Sixth Investigative Court ordered 10 months of preventive detention for three subofficers over alleged concusión and fraud after a detainee was falsely accused of a stolen phone and paid about S/1,400 for release.
- In Huancavelica, S2 Luis Abimael Beltrán Díaz was fatally shot inside the Surcubamba station and colleague S3 Carlos Hugo Egoávil Shupingahua was detained as the provincial Fiscalía opened a homicide investigation, while recent Huacho convictions and 2025 PNP complaint data highlight a broader misconduct problem.
