Overview
- Four resolutions published on Jan. 6 in the official gazette El Peruano disband Lava Jato, Cuellos Blancos, Eficcop and Eficavip and order their absorption by specialized subsystems.
- All files and personnel shift to money‑laundering, public‑corruption or human‑rights units, including 97 Lava Jato dockets moving to the Lavado de Activos subsystem.
- Rafael Vela is removed from coordinating Lava Jato and José Domingo Pérez is not reassigned to those cases, ending both prosecutors’ roles in the Odebrecht investigations.
- Rights groups and families of protest victims warn of setbacks to emblematic probes and announce a Lima demonstration on Jan. 9 to oppose the changes.
- Gálvez says the shake‑up improves efficiency and denies retaliation or any active case against him, while government and congressional allies publicly back the decision.
