Overview
- Congress disqualified Attorney General Delia Espinoza from public office for ten years over a regulation that lawmakers say contravened Law 32130 by assigning the National Police leadership of preliminary investigations.
- The Junta de Fiscales Supremos will meet on December 10 to assess the congressional notification and, by majority, decide whether to schedule a vote to choose a replacement.
- Gálvez indicated a succession vote is unlikely at that session and that the body may opt for another procedural decision before any election.
- Lawmakers also approved the opening of a criminal cause and sent a second notification, with alleged offenses including abuse of authority, prevarication, generic falsehood, and usurpation of functions, prompting a preparatory investigation.
- Separately, Gálvez said a special commission to draft a new Organic Law for the Ministerio Público is being assembled with installation estimated for December 15.
