Peru enacts Decree Law 1743: jail for lending bank accounts to extortionists, expands self-defense

The law also removes the proportionality criterion for legitimate self-defense, easing case dismissals by prosecutors. This marks a significant shift in Peru's anti-extortion legal framework, though implementation and potential overreach remain uncertain.
