Peru’s Congressional Ethics Commission Opens Probe Into Kira Alcarraz Over Alleged Assault on SAT Inspector

She pledges cooperation, urging review of images from the January traffic operation.

Overview

  • The Ethics Commission approved launching an investigation into Alcarraz following reports of an altercation during an SAT enforcement in San Juan de Miraflores.
  • Alcarraz denied striking the worker, saying “Jamás lo he golpeado” and asserting that footage will show she only lowered the camera being used to record her.
  • A police complaint filed in January alleges she grabbed the inspector’s phone and slapped him during the intervention.
  • The enforcement targeted a vehicle with plate CTM-375 that had a capture order tied to 1,327 soles in unpaid fines.
  • Reports indicate the inspector’s identity is being withheld over fear of reprisals as the commission reviews evidence and her statement.
