Overview
- The officers, detained Friday at the Huaura police station, are under a criminal probe for passive bribery, concusión — an illegal demand for payment by a public official — extortion and kidnapping.
- Prosecutors named the suspects as subofficers Fernando Trigoso, Junior Paredes and Bryan Rodríguez, and alférez (junior officer) Rubén Limay from the Special Services Unit.
- Investigators say the case stems from March 17, when the group allegedly forced their way into a home with two women and demanded 10,000 soles to avoid planting drugs.
- One woman was allegedly taken by force to collect the cash and was released after the money was handed over.
- The operation used the PNP anti-corruption directorate (Dircocor) and the tactical unit SUAT, and the four remain in custody as prosecutors carry out further investigative steps.
