Overview
- Government records show Henry García Malpartida was reaffirmed on Feb. 11 as INPE director of prison security, days after the Barbadillo searches.
- Pedro Castillo filed a criminal complaint accusing INPE officials of violating privacy and data‑protection laws by allowing photos from his cell to be disseminated.
- Martín Vizcarra lodged a complaint for alleged abuse of authority and aggravated violation of privacy, while Ollanta Humala’s counsel formally objected to photos taken without consent.
- INPE confirmed an internal investigation is underway and referred the case to its Internal Affairs unit, requesting reports from the Barbadillo prison director.
- An internal report cited by press accounts found no illicit items in Humala’s cell, and Castillo separately asked authorities to search Vladimiro Montesinos’s cell and transfer him to Challapalpa.
