Overview

• The Junta de Fiscales Supremos unanimously selected Gálvez after Pablo Sánchez declined to continue and Zoraida Ávalos renounced the encargatura.
• His interim tenure will run until Espinoza’s suspension ends or a court rules on her legal challenge to the measure.
• Gálvez was removed by the National Justice Board in 2021 over alleged ties to the ‘Cuellos Blancos’ network and was reinstated by the Constitutional Court in June 2025.
• He remains under investigation in cases linked to ‘Cuellos Blancos’ and the alleged irregular registration of the Podemos Perú party.
• Congress president José Jerí said the designation should be respected and urged Gálvez to act with impartiality and uphold separation of powers.
