Overview

  • Police say the traffic sub‑officer Jorge Puchoc Jorge was detained after a motorcyclist accused him of demanding S/1,000 to avoid a traffic ticket.
  • The motorcyclist was stopped in Acobamba for driving without a license and reportedly pawned a laptop to raise the cash used in a controlled handover.
  • Anti‑corruption prosecutors and Policía Anticorrupción mounted hours of surveillance that ended in the arrest during the Señor de Muruhuay festivities on May 31.
  • Investigators seized S/1,000 that had been photocopied as marked evidence and a second S/1,000 on the officer whose origin is now under review.
  • The suspect was moved to Huancayo and the Ministerio Público has opened a probe for the presumed crime of cohecho pasivo propio, which could lead to criminal charges and internal police discipline.
