Overview
- Dirincri, which held a ceremony Thursday at its Lima headquarters, presented Fernando Rospigliosi with a plaque and a police cap and promoted the event on Congress’s X account.
- Rospigliosi highlighted Law 32130, which returns early-stage criminal investigations to the National Police, saying it will help fight extortion, contract killings and organized crime, and the Dirincri chief credited recent arrests to these legal changes.
- The Fiscalía, the Legal Defense Institute and the Lima Bar said the law upends Peru’s investigation model by taking early case control from prosecutors and warned of political pressure, evidence tampering and turf disputes between agencies.
- The recognition landed two days before national elections as Rospigliosi runs for the Senate with Fuerza Popular and carries a recent first‑instance defamation ruling, which critics say makes the ceremony politically sensitive.
- Human rights groups also pointed to a separate amnesty push for 1980–2000 abuse cases and warned it could weaken accountability in hundreds of proceedings, raising broader rule‑of‑law concerns as police prerogatives grow.
