Peru’s Supreme Court Rejects Travel Ban on Dina Boluarte as Her Amparo Advances

Prosecutors failed to substantiate flight risk or the need for a mobility restriction.

Overview

  • The Permanent Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court declared the prosecution’s appeal unfounded, confirming that Dina Boluarte has no restriction on leaving the country.
  • Judges held that the prosecution did not prove a concrete risk of absconding and did not show the measure was indispensable for fact-finding, calling its arguments conjectural.
  • The ruling closes attempts to impose a 36‑month exit ban tied to probes including Los Dinámicos del Centro and alleged irregular hiring at EsSalud.
  • In a separate constitutional case, the Lima First Constitutional Chamber rejected Pedro Castillo’s bid to join Boluarte’s amparo as a facultative litisconsort, finding he lacked a direct legal interest.
  • Boluarte’s amparo was admitted and a single virtual hearing is set for March 12, seeking to annul the congressional resolution that vacated her and to establish due‑process criteria for future vacancia proceedings.
