Peru's Constitutional Court has ruled to suspend all criminal investigations against President Dina Boluarte until the end of her term, which is set to expire in July 2026. This ruling halts probes related to the 2022 protest deaths, corruption, and illicit enrichment allegations. The court's decision establishes a precedent that severely restricts criminal investigations into sitting heads of state in Peru. Separately, former President Martín Vizcarra has been transferred from the special prison for former presidents to a common prison in northern Lima. His family has condemned the transfer, describing it as an unprecedented abuse. The Peruvian court is also set to review Vizcarra's appeal against his preventive detention.
