Attorney General appoints supreme deputy prosecutor and relocates superior prosecutors

The Attorney General, Tomás Aladino Gálvez Villegas, appointed lawyer Alex Efraín Paco Ale as supreme deputy prosecutor in the First Supreme Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Committed by Public Officials, while retaining his career position, and relocated four other magistrates from the fiscal districts of Lambayeque and Lima Centro. The decision is contained in Attorney General’s Office Resolution No. 3540-2026-MP-FN, dated in Lima on November 10, 2026, and published in the official newspaper El Peruano on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 (Year XLIII, No. 19630), in the Legal Norms section.

The legal framework of the movement

The resolution is based on articles 64 and 65 of the Organic Law of the Public Ministry, approved by Legislative Decree No. 052 and amended by Law No. 31718, which grant the Attorney General the power to appoint provisional prosecutors at all levels and designate titular and provisional officials in the respective prosecutorial body. The decision was adopted based on report No. 0719-2026-MP-FN-OREF-MYGL, dated November 9, 2026, and official letters sent by the supreme prosecutor’s office itself and by the Presidency of the Board of Superior Prosecutors of Lambayeque.

According to the text, lawyer Gilmer Robinson Jara Vergara, provisional supreme prosecutor appointed to the First Supreme Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Committed by Public Officials, submitted a proposal for the reorganization of the prosecutorial staff under his charge, with the aim of “optimizing operational capacity” and ensuring efficiency in the processing of case files. The Public Ministry also invoked its Institutional Strategic Objective (OEI.01) of the Institutional Strategic Plan 2023-2030: to increase criminal prosecution and crime prevention.

Promotion to the supreme anti-corruption prosecutor’s office

The core of the provision is the transfer of Alex Efraín Paco Ale, who until now served as a provisional superior prosecutor of the Fiscal District of Lambayeque, appointed to the Mixed Superior Prosecutor’s Office of Jaén by Resolution No. 1928-2026-MP-FN, dated July 3, 2026. Article six now provides for his appointment as supreme deputy prosecutor in the First Supreme Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Committed by Public Officials, while article two concludes his previous position.

The position he will occupy is transitory, the resolution specified. In the same block, article one concluded the appointment of lawyer Jacqueline Elizabeth Asunción Del Pozo Castro as provisional supreme deputy prosecutor in that same office, a position she had held since Resolutions No. 1147-2020-MP-FN, No. 304-2022-MP-FN, and No. 2055-2026-MP-FN.

Two new superior positions in Lambayeque

The device also resolved to fill two superior prosecutor positions in the Lambayeque Fiscal District, both with the retention of the career positions of the magistrates:

• Enma Cornejo Vergara, titular mixed superior deputy prosecutor of Jaén, appointed as provisional superior prosecutor in the Mixed Superior Prosecutor’s Office of Jaén (AIRHSP No. 686).
• Anita Esperanza Cabrejos Barrios, titular criminal superior deputy prosecutor of Lambayeque, appointed as provisional superior prosecutor in the Second Superior Criminal Appeals Prosecutor’s Office of Lambayeque (AIRHSP No. 843).

The Presidency of the Board of Superior Prosecutors of Lambayeque had reported, via official letter No. 004368-2026-MP-FN-PJFS-LAMBAYEQUE, dated November 5, 2026, that both positions were registered in the AIRHSP application and had budgetary availability.

Relieves in Lima Centro

In the Lima Centro Fiscal District, the resolution reorganizes the criminal offices of the capital:

• Jacqueline Elizabeth Asunción Del Pozo Castro, titular provincial criminal prosecutor of Lima, moves to the 1st Provincial Criminal Office of the Seventh Corporate Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of Cercado de Lima-Breña-Rímac-Jesús María.
• José Antonio Castellanos Jara, until now a provisional provincial prosecutor in that same office, moves to the 4th Provincial Criminal Office of the Second Corporate Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of San Isidro-Lince, a position of a transitory nature.

The latter position is part of the posts created by the Resolution of the Board of Supreme Prosecutors No. 063-2019-MP-FN-JFS, whose validity was extended from January 1 to December 31, 2026, by Resolution No. 070-2025-MP-FN-JFS. The regulation ordered notification to the National Board of Justice, the presidencies of the boards of superior prosecutors of both districts, the General Management, and the Office of Prosecutor Registration and Evaluation, and ordered the magistrates to carry out the handover of office in accordance with General Directive No. 007-2002-MP-FN.

Impact on the fight against corruption

The movement takes place in a key office: the supreme prosecutor’s office that investigates high-ranking officials, whose functional scope was expanded by National Prosecutor’s Office Resolution No. 833-2023-MP-FN, modified in September 2026 to include the heads of the National Control Authorities of the Public Ministry and the Judiciary. The same edition of El Peruano published resolutions No. 3539-2026-MP-FN, which appoints Yngrid Jhenedier Soto Gutiérrez as provisional provincial prosecutor in the 3rd Provincial Criminal Prosecutor’s Office for Flagrant Crimes of Lima Centro, and No. 3541-2026-MP-FN, which designates Jesús Mitchel Cabello Campos to the Mixed Corporate Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Pataz, in La Libertad. For judicial operators, the reinforcement of the supreme anti-corruption prosecutor’s office and the rotation of positions in Lambayeque and Lima Centro directly impact the procedural workload of cases involving crimes by officials and the continuity of ongoing investigations.
