Peru’s Prime Minister Invites Attorney General Into High-Level Security Panel

The government says the change is meant to provide immediate legal support for police operations and speed up criminal cases.

Overview

  • The Presidency of the Council of Ministers held a session of the Commission Multisectorial de Alto Nivel that included Attorney General Tomás Gálvez and key cabinet ministers to boost coordination on organized crime.
  • Prime Minister Luis Galarreta led the meeting with ministers of Interior, Defense, Justice and Foreign Affairs to align operational and prosecutorial work.
  • The government announced plans to expand the panel in coming sessions to include the judiciary, OSIPTEL, the Financial Intelligence Unit and telephone companies to access technical and financial data for investigations.
  • Galarreta met earlier with Lima’s mayor to coordinate local security actions, signaling a push to link national operations with municipal enforcement on the capital’s streets.
  • Officials say the commission’s role is to give legal backing to raids and to speed case processing, a change that could increase evidence sharing but will require clear rules on data access and judicial oversight.
