Overview
- A Supreme Single-Judge Court accepted the complaint filed by suspended prosecutor Delia Espinoza against congressional leader Fernando Rospigliosi.
- The proceeding falls to a supreme instance because Rospigliosi holds high office, and the court will formally notify the parties to submit statements within the legal timeframe.
- Espinoza alleges Rospigliosi publicly labeled her an “ally of terrorism,” said she favored “illegal economies,” and called her “deranged.”
- Rospigliosi has responded on his social platforms, calling Espinoza a “trigger‑happy ex-prosecutor” and accusing her of abusing her authority to target critics.
- Espinoza seeks 1 million soles in civil damages, and the court emphasized that admitting the case does not determine guilt as evidence and arguments will follow.
