Tomás Gálvez es designado fiscal de la Nación interino tras salida de Pablo Sánchez
Tomás Gálvez fue reincorporado como fiscal supremo titular en junio pasado, luego de que la JNJ le rehabilitara el título, en cumplimiento de un fallo judicial.

Overview

  • Peru’s justice board (JNJ) suspended Delia Espinoza as fiscal de la Nación for six months, triggering the succession process.
  • A September 20 resolution signed by Pablo Sánchez installed him as interim under Article 158 of the Constitution and Article 24 of Decreto Legislativo 052.
  • Sánchez declined to continue due to health reasons and Zoraida Ávalos also refused the encargatura, moving the choice down the seniority line.
  • Following a meeting of fiscales supremos on Monday, Tomás Gálvez was designated interim leader, with official notice expected on institutional platforms.
  • Gálvez will serve until Espinoza’s suspension ends or a court rules on her appeal, and his record includes a 2021 removal by the JNJ, a June 2025 reinstatement by the Constitutional Tribunal and ongoing investigations tied to ‘Cuellos Blancos’.
