Prosecutors Add Surco Mayor to Probe After Partial Demolition at Property Tied to Congresswoman María Acuña

Prosecutors have opened a preliminary probe into Mayor Carlos Bruce over alleged abuse of authority tied to the operation.

Overview

  • The Public Ministry opened and extended a preliminary investigation naming Mayor Carlos Bruce and two Surco officials for alleged usurpation of functions and abuse of authority linked to the October 30 intervention.
  • Municipal crews, backed by National Police and Serenazgo, partially demolished structures by Parque 17 and installed prefabricated barriers to delimit space the city says is public.
  • Surco filed a criminal complaint against María Acuña and six others, alleging violence against authority and attempted homicide for an October 23 attack on municipal workers during an earlier operation.
  • Inmobiliaria Los Alisos, the registered owner, contends there was no demolition order or coactive enforcement proceeding and says it was not notified of such a measure.
  • The municipality frames the action as part of a broader campaign to recover public areas and says it has reclaimed more than 6,000 square meters to date with more interventions planned.
