Corruption and legal proceedings in Peru

Overview

In Peru, corruption concerns have surfaced regarding the appointment of José Del Carmen Baldera Chapoñan as executive of the Subdirection of Registral Operations by the Special Agency for Efficient Public Procurement (OECE), despite a 2017 indictment for embezzlement and recent detention on corruption charges.

Concurrently, the case against Tacna regional governor Luis Ramón Torres Robledo and former municipal officials has moved to oral trial. Prosecutors allege the group colluded in a 2017 land sale at the Viñani industrial park by undervaluing the property, resulting in state losses. The court has accepted various forms of evidence, including expert reports and video material, for evaluation.
