Lima Opens Investigation Into Emape’s S/4.1 Million Payout for Unverified Paving Work

The city’s public counsel is moving to identify responsibility after a TV report detailed a large disbursement to a private claimant without supporting contracts.

Overview

  • Municipal officials tasked the Procuraduría Pública with inquiries and potential complaints, with immediate removal pledged for any current officials found at fault.
  • Emape disbursed S/4,114,000 on December 23, 2025 to Miller Stalin León Dioses, who sought payment for cobblestone work he claimed to have done in 2022.
  • The agency acknowledged there was no contract, service order, or official request tied to the claimant, who initially demanded S/5,143,000 for work on Jirón Lampa blocks 2–5.
  • Internal finance reviews flagged photocopied or illegible records, signatures that did not match, photos showing Emape personnel rather than the provider’s crew, and invoices under Corporación Nagel that Sunat could not validate.
  • The disputed work window spans prior administrations under Jorge Muñoz and Miguel Romero, and the beneficiary has not been located at his registered address as the case develops.
