Suspected Explosive and Threat at Lima East Court Force Closure After Note Cites 'Chato Deyvis'

Authorities call it an attempt to pressure judges over the detention of 'Chato Deyvis,' a gang leader blamed for killings and extortion.

Overview

  • Police cordoned the Nicolás Ayllón headquarters in Ate and the explosives unit UDEX inspected and neutralized the suspected device.
  • A handwritten message signed by a group calling itself 'Los Mexicanos' warned judges and demanded that Deivis Gabriel Cordero Cárdenas not be released.
  • The Lima East Superior Court suspended in-person services and limited access, directing filings through its desk while security measures remained in place.
  • Cordero, known as 'Chato Deyvis,' was captured after months abroad and is under an 18‑month preventive detention order that runs until August 17, 2026, in a Ucayali prison.
  • Police link the episode to organized crime tied to 'Los Malditos de Huaycán,' which they say is involved in extortion, kidnappings, drug trafficking and roughly 40 homicides, and investigations continue.
