Peruvian Prosecutor's Office initiates preliminary investigation following congressional report
Peru's Public Ministry ordered the initiation of a complex preliminary investigation against various justice operators, former officials, and the director of a media outlet. The measure responds to the recommendations of the final report from a congressional investigative committee.
The order was issued by the First Supreme Prosecutor's Office Specialized in Crimes Committed by Public Officials. The process includes prosecutors, judges, and attorneys linked to previous corruption cases, as well as representatives of civil society.

As part of the initial diligences, the prosecutor's office requested a review of financial and communication records of those involved, setting a preliminary deadline for the development of the inquiries.
