Supreme Court Orders Reniec to Pay S/213,174 to Dina Boluarte After Final Labor Ruling

The court curtailed collective benefits by finding she held trust posts during certain periods under a function‑over‑form analysis.

Overview

  • Peru’s Cuarta Sala de la Corte Suprema closed the case by upholding the desnaturalization of her employment but excluding union‑negotiated benefits for stretches classified as cargo de confianza.
  • The final amount is S/213,174.63, about S/26,500 less than the previous S/239,674.63 set on appeal, resolving a lawsuit filed in 2019 over benefits tied to work dating back to 2007.
  • Justices applied the principle of primacía de la realidad, ruling that formal appointment papers were unnecessary to establish a trust role given the managerial functions she performed.
  • Reniec chief Carmen Velarde said the institution will comply once formally notified, channeling the payout through its commission that schedules judicial‑award payments by priority.
  • The decision lands as separate judicial reviews and fiscal investigations continue, while her lawyer says she is considering returning to Reniec or seeking a congressional seat in 2026.
