Overview

• The Tercera Fiscalía Provincial Penal Corporativa de Trujillo, led by prosecutor Carmen Varas Valderrama, formally incorporated Carlos Rodríguez-Pastor and Fernando Zavala into the preliminary investigation.
• Rodríguez-Pastor and Zavala were summoned to appear in person at the Ministerio Público in Trujillo on September 29.
• The expanded investigation now covers about 15 people, including 13 others who are mostly former Trujillo municipal officials tied to approvals, inspections, and the latest ITSE for the mall.
• Media reports indicate prosecutors are examining possible charges of involuntary manslaughter and negligent injury, with no formal charges filed to date.
• The case stems from the February 21 collapse of the Real Plaza Trujillo food-court roof that killed six people and injured more than 100.
