SAT Files Police Complaint Over Alleged Slap by Congresswoman Kira Alcarraz

The episode now moves toward an ethics review, with police and judicial procedures underway.

Overview

  • The SAT says Alcarraz, riding as a passenger, allegedly slapped a tax inspector and grabbed his phone during a vehicle-seizure operation near the Atocongo bridge in San Juan de Miraflores.
  • The car linked to the legislator had an administrative capture order for S/1,327 in unpaid traffic fines, according to official reports.
  • The SAT filed a complaint with the National Police; the inspector is set for a medico-legal exam and the case was sent to a justice of the peace court for initial proceedings.
  • Municipal authorities and the SAT issued statements condemning the reported aggression and expressed solidarity with the affected worker.
  • The vehicle was towed to a municipal lot and later released after the debtor accepted a payment plan, while Congress President Fernando Rospigliosi asked the Ethics Commission to take up the case and Mayor Renzo Reggiardo urged respect for the rules.
