Overview
- Security footage released by the Ministerio Público shows two people on a motorcycle intercepting prosecutor Miriam Maribel Parra Sudario in San Martín de Porres before her police escort drew his weapon and the assailant fled.
- The Policía Nacional del Perú’s Homicide Division is leading the investigation under attempted homicide as well as the criminal practices known as marcaje and reglaje.
- Parra, who prosecutes feminicides and sexual violence against minors, said the intimidation will not halt her work and characterized the incident as a message from criminal groups that know her identity and residence.
- She has requested reinforced police protection, met with prosecutorial leadership about her vulnerability, and formally sought recognition for the escort whose response thwarted the attack.
- Officials said measures to strengthen her protection are being taken, with Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio announcing added security and interim Attorney General Tomás Gálvez noting that 68 prosecutors nationwide face similar threats.
