Overview
- The Poder Judicial issued the verdicts on June 27–28 after a Fiscalía probe found the director of the PNP technical school in Huancavelica sold the resolved question bank for a 2020 sufficiency exam.
- Retired commander Jorge Sánchez received five years’ prison suspended with a three‑year probation period and five years’ disqualification from public office while six subofficers were each given four years’ prison suspended.
- Prosecutors built the case with digital forensic reports that recovered WhatsApp audios, bank deposit records showing payments, and a seized questionnaire with answers marked in bold.
- The scheme involved S/100 per candidate paid through an intermediary and distributed in WhatsApp groups to secure fraudulent technical certification for subofficers.
- The rulings arrive alongside other recent sentences for police abuse and follow new PNP measures including Directiva N.°180‑2026 and an Anti‑Corruption Team aimed at tightening internal oversight.
