Fujimori assures that Peruvian authorities will act with "great force" against crime

Peruvian Minister of Justice and Human Rights Ernesto Álvarez announced on Saturday plans to implement deep reforms to the nation's Code of Criminal Procedure. The minister stated that the current legal framework has failed to achieve its intended objectives and is no longer functional.

The proposed changes aim to overhaul the existing system, which the government characterizes as ineffective. The announcement marks the beginning of a legislative effort to restructure the country's criminal procedural processes.
