Peru's Attorney General, Tomás Gálvez, has initiated a significant restructuring of the specialized money laundering prosecutor system. Over a two-month period, this process resulted in the removal or relocation of at least 23 prosecutors and the reassignment of 13 others.

These administrative changes have interrupted several high-profile investigations involving prominent political figures, including Keiko Fujimori, Vladimir Cerrón, Martín Vizcarra, and Dina Boluarte. The restructuring also impacts cases linked to the ‘Cuellos Blancos’ scandal, Fuerza Popular, and the Sodalicio case.

Reports suggest that the sudden reassignments have placed significant burdens on incoming personnel, forcing new prosecutors to manage complex files with minimal preparation time, including cases involving massive volumes of documentation.
