Violence Persists Under LimaCallao Emergency as Judge Grants Bail to Ex-Prosecutor Peralta

Transport unions plan a November 4 strike over extortion, increasing pressure on President José Jerí’s security strategy.

Overview

  • A man was killed by at least five gunshots in Breña early on October 30 during the ongoing state of emergency, police reported.
  • An explosive damaged the Inkamay Salud clinic in Trujillo’s El Porvenir in what police assess as an extortion case, with no injuries reported.
  • The Supreme preparatory judge replaced Elizabeth Peralta’s preventive detention with restricted liberty, set a S/10,000 cash bond, and imposed conduct rules.
  • Transport unions called a nationwide strike for November 4, arguing the emergency has not curtailed extortion or killings targeting drivers.
  • Police actions tied to the emergency included the arrest of a 17-year-old alleged hitman in La Perla and the capture of ex-governor Maciste Díaz in Huancayo, while President José Jerí said a curfew is not being considered.
