Second Forensic Report Links WhatsApp Audio to Justice Minister Santiváñez

Prosecutors certify lawful extraction with a very likely voice match, reinforcing an inquiry into influence‑seeking via a police contact.

Overview

  • Informe Pericial N.° 268-2025 from the Ministerio Público concludes with high probability that the voice in the WhatsApp note corresponds to Juan José Santiváñez, based on analyses by three independent experts.
  • The 31‑second message, sent in late March 2024 to PNP captain Junior “Culebra” Izquierdo, asks to “definir mis puntos finales” and queries whether there was any issue concerning “el hermano,” apparently referring to Nicanor Boluarte.
  • Forensic examiners state the chats and voice notes were legally extracted from Izquierdo’s phones, which he handed over voluntarily, using CELEBRITE and public reference recordings.
  • Revealed WhatsApp exchanges show Santiváñez sought details on the impending Rolex case raids and include a comment about purported negotiations for ministries involving Fuerza Popular and César Acuña.
  • Santiváñez publicly denies the audio is his and declined to provide a direct sample during a March 10, 2025 fiscal diligence, as the probe continues with corroboration from an earlier chifa recording.
