Castillo appointed Segundo Mejía Montenegro as new police inspector general, who previously worked as security chief at a university and was dismissed from the force. The reshuffle follows Castillo's defense requesting Colchado's removal; Palacios views it as retaliation against investigators and compares it to the missing palace security footage.

Peru's President Castillo faces accusations of manipulating police leadership to protect allies and obstruct investigations into corruption involving his family.

South America
Institutional erosion in Peru as executive branch allegedly interferes with judicial and police independence. Weakening of checks and balances undermines democratic governance and rule of law, potentially emboldening similar practices across Latin America.
Similar to patterns in Venezuela and Nicaragua where executives systematically compromised independent institutions to shield allies from prosecution, eventually leading to democratic backsliding.

Institutional uncertainty and political turmoil reduce consumer and business confidence, potentially leading to delayed spending, investment pullback, and increased precautionary savings as economic agents await policy clarity.
Potential for regulatory inconsistency, weakened institutional oversight, and compromised enforcement of economic regulations. International investors may demand risk premiums; credit rating agencies may downgrade Peru's sovereign rating; central bank independence could be questioned.
