Overview
- Resolution 3343-2025-MP-FN, published October 31 in El Peruano, removed Carolina Delgado and Alejandra Cárdenas from the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office for Public Officials and reassigned them to Sullana and Arequipa, with Lourdes Bernardita Téllez named as Delgado’s replacement.
- Tomás Gálvez said he withdrew trust after the prosecutors engaged in “cosas indebidas” and showed functional ignorance, citing as grounds that Delgado shared information with a provincial prosecutor about a supreme prosecutor’s case.
- Both prosecutors dispute the legality and rationale of their removal and contend the timing hinders sensitive probes, including inquiries involving Gálvez and a separate case tied to former prosecutor general Patricia Benavides.
- The Junta de Fiscales Supremos postponed a decision on the future of the special prosecution teams, with the evaluation rescheduled for next week and the Public Ministry preparing an international competition this month to steer reorganization.
- In a parallel dispute, a Lima judge gave the National Justice Board two days to comply with an order to reinstate Delia Espinoza as prosecutor general under a prior precautionary ruling.
