The Cuellos Blancos scandal (English: White Collars scandal) or the CNM Audios scandal is a judicial scandal caused by the revelation of audio recordings of judges and their staff, with the most notable individual being Associative Justice of the Supreme Court of Peru César Hinostroza, allegedly discussing bribes and reducing criminal penalties.[1][2][3][4] These judges were part of the National Council of Magistracy (Peruvian Spanish: Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura, CNM).[1][2] The scandal was revealed by an initiative led by the investigative journalism website IDL-Reporteros, which ultimately collected over 63,000 audio recordings that reportedly unveiled one of the largest corruption networks in Peru's judicial history.[3] Following the scandal, the CNM would be restructured into the National Board of Justice (JNJ).
