Lima’s Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that criminal charges against former Congresswoman and Education Minister Flor Pablo Medina have been dropped. This dismissal occurred following the application of the controversial “Soto Law,” a legal mechanism allowing for the extinguishment of criminal proceedings. The case investigated irregularities surrounding a 2014 contract for the transportation of educational materials. The "Soto Law" has been criticized for potentially shielding public officials from accountability. While the investigation has concluded against Pablo, the details of the original contract and alleged irregularities remain a point of concern. The case highlights ongoing debates about legal loopholes and corruption within Peruvian politics. This development was first reported by Lima Gris.
