Peru’s National Police are grappling with a deepening crisis fueled by a series of corruption and misconduct allegations. Recent cases include accusations against a former commissioner leading an extortion ring, a commander linked to drug trafficking, and a retired general who has been arrested. A former police commander, Víctor Zanabria, is also facing eight years in prison in a separate case. These incidents, alongside the death of a teenager in police custody, are severely damaging public trust in the institution. The Inspector General’s office is under scrutiny for its ability to remove corrupt officers, and the current commander, Óscar Arriola, faces pressure to address the escalating issues and restore the police force’s credibility. The unfolding events raise serious questions about internal oversight within the Peruvian police.
