Overview
- Acting prosecutor general Tomás Gálvez said he withdrew confidence from Carolina Delgado and Alejandra Cárdenas because they engaged in “improper” actions against him and erred on jurisdiction by enabling a provincial prosecutor to probe a supreme prosecutor.
- The removals were formalized on October 31 by Resolution 3343-2025-MP-FN, which cited Delgado’s sharing of information requested in a case involving a supreme prosecutor.
- The official file, reported by Perú21, identifies the referenced supreme prosecutor as Gálvez himself, a detail that has intensified questions about a potential conflict of interest.
- Delgado and Cárdenas publicly rejected the grounds for their ouster as unlawful and unjust, noting timing overlaps between their procedural requests and their dismissal, and received support from legal figures such as former state attorney José Ugaz.
- Gálvez confirmed the Junta de Fiscales Supremos has been reviewing whether to maintain or restructure special teams, including Lava Jato, but deferred a decision to next week for lack of complete operational and budget documentation and announced a new international restructuring tender this month.
