on Tuesday indicated that her office opened a new prosecutorial investigation file on the events registered in Peru's southern Puno region over recent days.
These are in the "preliminary proceedings stage," she indicated.
"Today, we are making the decision to open a new prosecutorial file," the Attorney General affirmed.
This will be aimed at "the high-ranking officials who are allegedly responsible for everything that is happening," Benavides indicated.
The classification of the acts perpetrated is being prepared, she indicated.
Necropsies in progress
Benavides pointed out that the Public Ministry "will remain firm in its constitutional mission to prevent and investigate crimes."
In Puno, this is done via the crime prevention prosecutor's office, the criminal prosecutor's offices, and those for organized crime, the magistrate specified.
Moreover, she said that in various parts of the country there have been attacks, not only on the Public Ministry offices, but also on other public entities.
