Police Detain Jackson Mora in Probe of Nearly S/10 Million Municipal Fund Diversion

Prosecutors say the group used a fake congressional office to obtain SIAF credentials to route about S/9.98 million through FFC MMA SAC, exposing gaps in municipal finance controls.

Overview

  • Investigators from the Fiscalía and Dirincri executed coordinated raids in Lima and Chincha this week and placed Jackson Mora and his sister Noelia under seven-day preliminary detention as the probe continues.
  • Police released April 23 CCTV that, according to authorities, shows Jackson Mora near a BCP branch at the time the municipal transfer was deposited into an account linked to FFC MMA SAC.
  • The fiscal hypothesis says suspects rented an office in the Polo Hunt II tower and posed as congressional advisers to obtain the mayor’s DNI and SIAF access, which prosecutors say allowed the transfer of about S/9.98 million.
  • Authorities report recovering more than S/8 million so far, finding over S/800,000 left in Mora’s account, and seizing luxury items including a 2026 Toyota 4Runner tied to Noelia Mora.
  • Next steps include formalizing charges for fraud, organized crime and money laundering as prosecutors continue forensic tracing of funds and probe the network of firms used to disperse the transfers.
