Overview
- The city tax agency updated driver records with Peru’s Transport Ministry to put back points that were wrongly deducted for Magdalena del Mar photo tickets.
- Authorities voided 56,040 traffic fines after finding the camera evidence and paperwork from the district failed to meet technical and procedural rules.
- Drivers who already paid can request their money back on the SAT website, and the agency says point corrections happen automatically without any paperwork from citizens.
- SAT warns people not to hire intermediaries for refunds because the process is free and sharing personal data with third parties could invite fraud.
- Magdalena’s mayor, Francis Allison, says he will sue the Lima municipality and SAT to force repayments, underscoring an unresolved clash between local enforcement and metropolitan oversight.
