Senator asks Peru’s Interior Ministry to order psychological and psychiatric assessment of police general Víctor Revoredo

Peruvian Senator Percy Osorio Palpán has asked the Interior Ministry to arrange psychological and psychiatric assessments for National Police General Víctor Revoredo Farfán.

The request followed Revoredo’s conduct toward journalists during a visit to Trujillo in the La Libertad region. Reporters asked him about differences between five detainees and the alleged perpetrators shown in recordings of the kidnapping of mining businessman Jenss Lara Tantaquilla and the killing of his four companions.

According to videos cited in the article, Revoredo tried to leave without answering the questions. He was filmed smiling as he looked for a vehicle. When reporters continued asking questions, he stopped briefly and said, “Please, long live Peru. The Police love Trujillo and love Peru. Long live Peru, that’s all I’m telling you! Wait a few minutes.” He then left in a private vehicle.

Osorio said the assessment would help “safeguard the official’s suitability.” He also requested a detailed report on the effectiveness of preventive intelligence operations in Trujillo before the kidnapping and quadruple killing on August 31.

The senator based his request on Article 96 of Peru’s Constitution, which allows senators and lawmakers to seek written reports from ministers and public institutions. He also cited Article 8 of the Senate regulations, which establishes political oversight of executive and public administration actions. The request does not itself constitute a sanction or administrative decision.

Please, long live Peru. The Police love Trujillo and love Peru. Long live Peru, that’s all I’m telling you! Wait a few minutes.
