This is the non-commissioned officer Javier Bruno Espinoza, who has more than 30 sanctions and a retirement pass, according to official information accessed by El Comercio through a request protected by the Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information.
Amuruz requested the non-commissioned officers through a letter addressed to the former head of the Congressional Security Division, PNP Colonel Luis Ruíz Astahuamán. Of the 8 requested, the PNP assigned five, plus three others that do not appear on its list.
Non-commissioned officer Bruno was not assigned to him and continued working in the Callao Police Region.
THIS WAS ROSSELLI AMURUZ’S REQUEST:
El Comercio reported last December that 11 congressmen interceded with the PNP in the appointment of their bodyguards.
The executive director of the Police Legal Defense Institute, Jesús Poma Zamudio, pointed out that “we would be facing an alleged crime of abuse of authority.”
personal file
The Human Resources Directorate of the PNP delivered to El Comercio the file of each of the personnel required by the 11 congressmen.
Among the documentation, the file of non-commissioned officer Bruno was distinguished. This shows that just in his first year as a police officer, in 1999, he received five sanctions for negligence, violation of obedience, violation of police spirit, and abandonment of duty or assignment.
The following year he was placed on leave due to disciplinary action, one of the most severe sanctions. And retired in 2002.
Bruno rejoined the Police by court order in April 2005. However, less than a year later he was sanctioned again for missing a day without justification and failing to comply with a current directive.
In 2014, he caused a traffic accident, for which the PNP punished him with six days of simple reprimand.
The police documents about that accident show that it caused a multiple collision, with material damage and minor injuries, when he was traveling on Venezuela Avenue, near the San Marcos stadium, and he fled in the direction of Callao, but was arrested. on Pio XII Avenue, in San Miguel.
Bruno denied before the PNP Disciplinary Office that he had escaped. On the contrary, he said that he reached an agreement with the drivers of the affected vehicles.
THIS IS PART OF THE RESOLUTION OF THE PNP THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE ACCIDENT AND IMPOSES SANCTION ON THE PETTY OFFICER:
Bruno has accumulated sanctions for acting negligently in the exercise of his duties, leaving his duty position to carry out activities unrelated to it without justified cause, among other reasons.
The non-commissioned officer was penalized with written reprimands, days of simple sanction and days of simple arrest.
Poma explained that the days of simple sanctions imply the reduction of points in the discipline grade. Meanwhile, those involving simple arrest meant that the non-commissioned officer remained available within his police unit for any matter while the sanction lasted.

Make the boss responsible for your safety
Last January, when El Comercio began the investigations into this case, Amuruz assured that he requested non-commissioned officer Bruno on the recommendation of the head of his escort. “It is he who makes the request given his expertise in the matter. And I trusted and trust in his professional judgment, which is why he made the formal request,” he said.
The legislator has eight police officers in charge of her security. It enjoys “exceptional” police protection by decision of the State Security Directorate of the PNP, as El Comercio reported last December.
Amuruz assured that he only maintains professional ties with the police officers who provide him security.
“I have only recently met the police officers assigned to Congress for strictly work reasons and through Parliament. Since you have informed me of a specific name, I made the respective query to the head of my bodyguard and he told me that this person was never assigned to my team precisely because of the sanctions you indicate. Therefore, he never worked in my environment,” he added.
El Comercio looked for non-commissioned officer Bruno Espinoza at the address that he registered with the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Reniec) as his address, to collect his defenses. In the same place he left a letter with the information we have detailed in this report and a contact number, but received no response.
Sanction and threat
Last Monday, Amuruz lost her temper when the Ethics Commission approved sanctioning her for lying about her participation in organizing the birthday party of her partner, Paul García, in 2023.
Visibly upset, the congresswoman threatened the president of the commission, Congressman Diego Bazán, with publishing information against him, to the astonishment of the members of that working group.
Previously, she was punished with a public reprimand and a fine equivalent to 60 days’ salary for violating articles 1, 2 and 4 of the Code of Parliamentary Ethics, on the principle of transparency and respect for parliamentary investiture.
In practice, the Ethics Commission shielded Amuruz, since it only sanctioned her for a minor accusation. Last year he agreed to exonerate her from the most serious case: allegedly interceding in the hiring in Congress of at least eight people linked to her partner.
Amuruz said last Monday, in dialogue with Canal N, that he serves as a congressman “out of a vocation for service.” And he added: “I could easily stay in the private sector.”
