In early July 2026, Peru's Supreme Court dismissed the association‑illicit charge against former president Ollanta Humala, his wife Nadine Heredia and four former ministers in the Gasoducto Sur scandal, while the collusion investigation and a civil reparations phase continued. The July 6 ruling formally archived the charge, applying the retroactive benefit of Law No. 32108, which raised the minimum penalty for organization‑crime offences and rendered the accusation legally insufficient. Later that month authorities detained an environmental prosecutor accused of aiding an illegal‑mining criminal organization and captured an alleged extortionist, illustrating a broader push against both political corruption and environmental crime. In August 2026, Peru's Constitutional Court annulled Humala's 15‑year money‑laundering conviction, ruling that the judgment breached constitutional principles and that the legal theory applied was not in force at the time. The court ordered his immediate release from Barbadillo ~~prison, removing a high‑profile anti‑corruption ruling~~ prison and ~~reigniting~~ sparked heated debate over impunity and the ~~strength~~ future of ~~Peru's legal framework~~ anti‑corruption prosecutions.
