Peru prosecutor system restructuring

Overview

In early July 2026 Peru’s Attorney General Tomás Gálvez reinstated Víctor Rodríguez Monteza as a supreme prosecutor after a Constitutional Court ruling, prompting a reshuffle of senior prosecutor positions. While a related appointment occurred in Mexico, the focus remained on Peru’s internal reforms.

By late July, Gálvez issued a series of resolutions to restructure the offices handling money‑laundering and organized crime. The changes appointed Rafael Vela Barba to lead the First National Superior Prosecutor’s Office for Money‑Laundering, reassigned more than twenty magistrates, moved officials to corporate criminal‑justice units, and temporarily placed Elssie Salette Garavito Chang in charge of a second superior office. The reforms aim to improve probity and investigative effectiveness across specialized units.
