Overview
- The ruling nullifies all procedural acts from the start of the investigation, including the July 2, 2025 accusation, and instructs the Tenth Preparatory Court to promptly review Fujimori’s legal status.
- The majority decision was 5–2, with TC president Luz Pacheco issuing a separate opinion emphasizing that the tribunal does not determine criminal guilt.
- The judgment underscores violations of legality and reasonable‑time guarantees and clarifies that the annulment is not a declaration of innocence.
- Prosecutor José Domingo Pérez asked to suspend or reprogram the trial of former Lima mayor Susana Villarán to assess the ruling’s reach; the judge declined an immediate pause but set time to consider filings next week.
- Fujimori’s defense celebrated the decision while political reactions diverged, including a call from congressional leader Fernando Rospigliosi to sanction the prosecutors in the case.
