San Isidro Suspends Serenazgo Officers After Video Shows Them Eating Seized Ceviche

The municipality opened a disciplinary process under Peru’s administrative law to determine responsibility and potential sanctions.

Overview

  • Footage recorded inside a moving municipal truck shows personnel consuming ceviche confiscated minutes earlier during a street enforcement operation.
  • San Isidro authorities separated the implicated officers from duty and ordered a Procedimiento Administrativo Disciplinario with a pledge to apply the maximum penalty allowed.
  • Officials say the vendor’s cart was removed for lacking an operating license at the intervention site near Javier Prado Este and Ricardo Rivera Navarrete.
  • Under Ley N.º 27444, penalties can include written reprimands, suspension, dismissal, or disqualification, and the Comptroller’s Office may impose bans of up to five years if functional responsibility is proven.
  • The vendor reports this is the fourth confiscation of his cart and says he later recovered it without a fine after senior municipal intervention, intensifying scrutiny of how seized goods are handled.
