Peru's top prosecutor urges repeal of police-only investigation law, citing trial validity

Peru's Prosecutor Tomás Gálvez publicly called for repeal of Law No. 32130, which grants the PNP exclusive preliminary investigation rights, arguing evidence gathered solely by police is inadmissible in oral trials and creates institutional conflict. This marks a notable escalation in the prosecutor-police jurisdictional dispute, with Congress now considering repeal. The outcome will shape criminal procedure and inter-agency power balance in Peru.
