Overview
- Lima Airport Partners, which committed Sunday to grant 1,000 square meters at the new terminal, opened the path to build a flagrancy unit inside Jorge Chávez.
- The plan emerged from a working meeting that included the judiciary, the national police, exporters and industry groups, and LAP representatives.
- Flagrancy units speed cases by uniting judges, prosecutors, police and public defenders to move from arrest to sentence in about 72 hours.
- An airport site would tackle document fraud, human trafficking, contraband and drug offenses with on-the-spot processing that avoids risky detainee transfers.
- Peru already runs 38 of these units with high first-hearing sentencing rates, and the airport project still needs formal agreements, design work and operating plans before launch.
