• Odebrecht case: Peruvian justice sends Keiko Fujimori to prison
  • Peru: An ocean of corruption

Keiko Fujimori, the opposition leader in Peru, has been transferred to a clinic in Lima on Saturday for coronary problems from prison, where she turns 18 months of preventive detention for alleged acts of corruption in the framework of the Odebrecht case.

His lawyer, Giulliana Loza , has confirmed on social networks that his client is in the medical center to be "stabilized and examined in detail." Fujimori, 44, has been held since the end of October 2018 in the women's prison of the Lima district of Chorrillos.

The transfer to the medical center came just three days after the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of Peru was known to keep the leader of the Fujimorist party Fuerza Popular in prison, although with a reduction in the period of deprivation of liberty of 36 to 18 months

However, Fujimori has ultimately turned to the Constitutional Court at the national level to request his immediate release, which will be evaluated on September 25 at a hearing convened for the case.

Also this week his father, former President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), has been hospitalized for several days until Friday, when he has returned to the police base where he is imprisoned to serve a 25-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity .

On the other hand, the former president's daughter was imprisoned for the high signs of having bought and pressured witnesses in the investigation that the Prosecutor's Office is following for alleged money laundering.

The Special Team of the Prosecutor's Office of Peru for the Lava Jato case investigates the way in which Keiko Fujimori and her party allegedly concealed a million dollars that the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht claimed to have donated for the campaign of the heiress of Fujimori to the presidency of Peru in the 2011 elections.

Apparently that amount was made up in the party's accounts through multiple fictitious donations of private individuals for smaller amounts, as witnesses have revealed.

If the Constitutional Court decides to continue in prison, Keiko Fujimori would recover his freedom on April 30, 2020 if before the Prosecutor's Office fails to present a formal accusation with further evidence of the crime attributed to Fujimori that allow the corresponding trial to begin.
