Peru Expands Flagrancia Training as Loreto Court Delivers Rapid Prison Terms

Judicial training on a unified flagrancia protocol is designed to curb nullities through coordinated, standardized first response.

Overview

  • Moquegua’s court and its District Flagrancia Committee trained 45 PNP officers and 38 Serenazgo staff on lawful interventions, rights reading, acta drafting, and chain of custody.
  • La Libertad’s program, led by Cecilia Milagros León Velásquez, capacitated about 120 police over three days on the interinstitutional protocol under DS Nº 026‑2025‑JUS and the organized crime law (Ley Nº 30077).
  • A Trujillo conversatorio for comisarios sought to uniform intervention criteria and strengthen coordination among Police, Ministerio Público, Defensa Pública, and the judiciary.
  • In Loreto, the Third Flagrancia Court issued effective prison sentences of 6 years, 6 months, 6 days and 7 years, 6 months, 6 days for attempted aggravated robbery under the “falso mototaxista” modus operandi.
  • The Loreto case followed a swift capture by Serenazgo de Maynas and the PNP and immediate transfer to the Flagrancia Unit, underscoring the system’s focus on speed, legality, and interagency action.
