Peru JNJ removes prosecutor in Odebrecht case over use of deceased witness statement

Peru's National Board of Justice (JNJ) removed a prosecutor from the Odebrecht referees case for using a cooperating witness's statement in an accusation after the witness died before the agreement was judicially approved. The removal targets the prosecutor who sought prison for judges Kundmüller, Cantuarias, and Abanto, potentially weakening the prosecution's case. This is a procedural setback in a high-profile corruption case, with implications for judicial accountability and the integrity of the Odebrecht investigations.
