In a short letter shared on Twitter, judicial chief Duberli Rodriguez announced he was tendering his resignation “due to the institutional crisis.”

The judicial misconduct became public two weeks ago when the Peruvian investigative news website IDL-Reporteros and the “Panorama” new analysis television show published a series of telephone recordings involving an extensive network of judges, businessmen and local authorities describing back-room deals. A number of judges and judicial officials implicated in the scandal have been suspended. He denied any wrongdoing, saying he had removed himself from the company when the payments were made.
