Parra Sudario assured that this will not prevent him from fulfilling his duties and that these threats will not overshadow his work.
Received threats through WhatsApp
A provincial prosecutor from Lima Norte reported death threats through WhatsApp messages allegedly coming from inmates of the Lurigancho prison who seek revenge for their judicial processes.
The official, with five years in the Public Ministry and twelve in the Judiciary, received messages last Thursday, December 11, detailing her address and security scheme, warning that “that day will be the last day of your life.” Despite having police protection, his life is at constant risk.
