Overview
- Businessman José Antonio Muchaipiña filed a complaint naming Dirincri chief Col. Juan Carlos Montúfar and eight agents, and RPP reports a fiscal file now active in the Ministerio Público.
- The alleged theft occurred on November 1 during a police intervention in the Nuevo San Juan housing association in Huacho linked to a nearby triple homicide inquiry.
- Muchaipiña says the cash served as working capital and claims he can verify possession with bank statements, withdrawal vouchers and Sunat filings, stating it was kept in a bag inside a shoe cabinet.
- He alleges the entry lacked a judicial order and prosecutorial presence and says officers broke and took a security camera that could contain footage of the operation.
- Montúfar acknowledges leading the operation and denies that such money was present, stating the matter is under investigation and noting there were no detainees recorded from the intervention.
