A local news report says dynamite was left at the Santa Rosa court site in San Juan de Lurigancho, a district in east Lima, on Friday 13 November 2026. It cites a letter from the union of Lima Este judicial workers (SITRAPOJ-LE), which calls it a direct threat to judges, staff and visitors.
We found no confirmation from the court, police or prosecutors, and this is the only report we could find. Court sites were also targeted in Ate, east Lima, in late October 2025 (threatening messages, per the court) and in Callao on Monday 31 August 2026 (an explosive found outside, per the court).
What We Know
The union wrote to the internal control body of the Public Ministry, Peru’s prosecution service, to express indignation, rejection and extreme concern. It asked for in-person work at the site to be suspended, with remote work, until the police explosives unit (UDEX) completes its checks.
The union said it will call union action if no concrete measures follow within hours. The report adds that police and UDEX went to the site and deactivated the device, which we could not confirm with the police.
What Is Not Known
Who left the device is unknown, and we found no report of arrests. The court’s plans for in-person service at the Santa Rosa site are also unknown.
