      • The Public Ministry of Peru, also known as the Prosecutor's Office of Peru, is an autonomous entity of the Government of Peru that is responsible for enforcing law in Peru.

      History


      Following the creation of the Supreme Court of Peru in 1825, an entity similar to the Public Ministry served under the chief national court. The 1828 Constitution of Peru established a Supreme Court with seven justices and a prosecutor.
      Jorge Basadre notes that in the National Convention of 1855, functions for a national prosecutor were more defined. By 1930, it was indicated in Article 2 of the Code of Procedure in Criminal Matters that public criminal prosecution was performed by a proseuctor's office that was overseen by the Ministry of Justice. In the 1979 Constitution of Peru, the Public Ministry of Peru was officially established as an independent body from the Ministry of Justice.
