Elisabet Puente Peregrina has been renewed as deputy public prosecutor for a second six-year term, now promoted to second degree, with the agreement taking effect from Friday as published in the Official Bulletin of the Principality of Andorra (BOPA) this morning.
The Superior Council of Justice approved the renewal, marking Puente's first extension in the role amid recent staff changes at the public prosecutor's office. She has become one of its longest-serving members, following Ivan Alís and Borja Aguado in seniority. Puente joined the ministry in March 2019 on a probationary basis and was confirmed a year later. Her first term has now concluded, with judicial authorities granting the renewal as expected.
Puente brings extensive judicial experience, having previously worked as a judicial secretary at the Superior Court. In the dual competition for judge and prosecutor positions, she ranked highest and chose the public ministry.
She also serves on the Superior Council of Justice's ethics commission, representing prosecutors alongside Marta Villaverde. The decision provides continuity after recent movements among prosecutors.
