Congress approves impunity law for police officers who exceed the use of their regulation weapon

Congress approves impunity law for police officers who exceed the use of their regulation weapon

He Congress of the Republic approved the bill that will provide impunity to police officers who exceed the use of force during their duties. The proposal was approved in the first vote with 95 votes in favor and, subsequently, exempted from a second vote with 80 in favor, 18 against and 3 abstentions.

Among the parliamentarians who supported this norm are those belonging to the benches of Fuerza Popular and Peru Libre. An alliance that, for quite some time, has achieved the approval of various laws that harm citizens and favor organized crime, such as the Law 32108 and the law that excludes political parties of criminal liability.

This time, the groups of Keiko Fujimori and Vladimir Cerrón They played against the wall to approve the opinion of the Justice Commission, led by Peru Libre, and prevent it from returning to said legislative body.

From the orange bench, the parliamentarian Fernando Rospigliosi spoke of an alleged “fiscal persecution of police officers who kill criminals,” despite the fact that, as he stated Rosa María Palacioscurrently there is not a single police officer imprisoned for carrying out his duties. “We have to reiterate this law so that prosecutors and judges do not continue releasing criminals and persecuting police and military personnel,” he argued.

In contrast, the Congresswoman Ruth Luque warned that the two articles that are intended to be introduced into the Criminal Procedure Code are “openly violative of the jurisdiction of the Public Ministry” and attempt to regulate something that is already established in the law. “We already have established the figures of defense of criminal responsibility and we have regulated the exercise of police activity. What this project will achieve is to prevent the authority from requesting explanations when police powers are misused,” he warned during the debate in plenary.

“There are specific cases where there were bad police officers who misused their functions. Does there have to be impunity? In the case of young Rosalino Flores Valverde who received more than 30 pellets in my city from a police officer. Â Is that police officer not going to respond? Are they going to say that he was on duty? That is called impunity,” he added.
