The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML) and its strategic projects company, EMAPE, announced plans to initiate legal and criminal actions against Francis Allison, the mayor of Magdalena del Mar. The dispute involves the alleged unauthorized removal of a traffic safety camera on the Costa Verde stretch, which was installed to conduct speed measurement studies and reduce accident rates.

Allison has challenged the action, questioning the legality of fines issued without proper signage and arguing the equipment was placed without his municipality’s consent. This legal conflict occurs as Allison campaigns for the Lima mayoralty in the upcoming October 4 regional and municipal elections.
