Tomás Gálvez Named Interim Attorney General, Begins Personnel Changes and Backs Pérez on Villarán Case

The move follows the JNJ's six-month suspension of Delia Espinoza, leaving key posts and legal challenges under review.

Overview

  • By unanimous resolution published in El Peruano, the Junta de Fiscales Supremos designated Gálvez as interim head after Espinoza was suspended for six months.
  • He replaced Roxana Victoria Cavero as manager of the Office of Registration and Evaluation of Prosecutors and appointed Silvia Karina Ávila, according to El Comercio.
  • National coordinators placed their posts at disposition on September 21, and Gálvez will decide whether to ratify or replace them.
  • Gálvez said José Domingo Pérez will continue handling the Susana Villarán trial and noted Rafael Vela’s status will be evaluated later, while he seeks meetings to address a budget shortfall.
  • His interregnum proceeds with ongoing investigations into him over alleged offenses linked to Los Cuellos Blancos and with Espinoza’s amparo set for a constitutional hearing on September 26.
