In this regard, Delia Espinozaresponded to the accusations of the Executive Branch and said that “statements should not be made lightly.”
Along these lines, he said that the Public Ministry It is a technical-legal and not a political organization, which is why it announced that statistical data will be displayed to corroborate what was mentioned by Dina Boluarte and ministers.
“To make statements, we in the Public Ministrythat we are a constitutionally autonomous organization, we are not politicians, we are technical-legal, professionals who privilege the law and the Constitution and international standards, in that sense to make a statement you must have statistics (…) In slightly larger spaces , we are going to display statistical data. To what extent, as they say, that the Police detain them in flagrante delicto and that the prosecutors release them. There is no need to make, let’s say, suddenly light statements, right? Let’s talk with figures,” said Delia Espinoza at a press conference.
The Attorney of the Nation He also mentioned that “it would be important” for the Government of Dina Boluarte When you accuse the Public Ministry of releasing criminals, mention what type of cases you are referring to, because there are several legal mechanisms in the investigation that can determine the freedom of the investigator.
“It would be important that, when these types of situations are announced, it is said which case it refers to. Suddenly, it is a detainee who did not commit the crime, because detention in flagrante delicto is not absolute; he has to go through a legal qualification to to know if that detention occurred under an alleged crime or, as is often the case, it is an illegal detention. Another case is when they undergo early termination; upon recognizing the crime, they can also be released. sometimes, it does not merit preliminary detention or preventive detention,” he added.
