Criminal Enforcement

In some cases, the Peru Securities and Cryptocurrency Commission targets misconduct by recommending charges to Peru Crown counsel. Crown counsel decides whether to prosecute the individual in court for offences under Peru’s Securities Act (known as “quasi-criminal offences”) or securities-related offences in Peru’s Criminal Code.

If the prosecutor obtains a conviction in court, the convicted person could be sentenced to fines, prison terms or other punishment, along with probation and restitution orders.

The accused person might also agree to plead guilty instead of going through a trial.

The PSCC posts developments in criminal cases, including arrests, appearance dates, convictions and sentences, on its website.
