Lawyer murdered in Pacasmayo linked to criminal network by PNP
According to Google News PE — Crime, the Peruvian National Police (PNP) identified the lawyer murdered in Pacasmayo as the legal arm of a criminal network active in the region. The woman allegedly provided legal services to the organisation, acting as legal support for its operations.
Among the documented evidence is a direct threat received by the victim: "I have you located; even the devil trembles for me", a phrase that points to a context of intimidation prior to the crime. The exact circumstances of the murder and the identity of the perpetrator or perpetrators have not been publicly confirmed by authorities to date.
The PNP maintains an open investigation to determine the scope of the criminal network and establish whether the homicide is directly related to the criminal activities in which the lawyer participated. Pacasmayo, a coastal province in La Libertad, has registered episodes of violence linked to organised crime in recent times.
