- Peru: Keiko Fujimori returns to prison two days after his electoral debacle
Peruvian opposition leader Keiko Fujimori was released from prison on Monday after three months detained by the scandal of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht due to a ruling by an appeals court.
The eldest daughter of the convicted ex-president Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) came out wearing a mask and white gloves from the Chorrillos women's prison in southern Lima , and boarded a taxi to her home, four days after the court ruling that granted him bail .
Before her departure, Keiko, 44, announced on Twitter that upon arrival at her home in eastern Lima, she would undergo tests for the coronavirus before reuniting with her two daughters.
"The first thing I will do after leaving and arriving at my house is to undergo a molecular test, in order not to put my family at risk. We have decided that until we have the result of that test, I will not be able to meet with my daughters, "she tweeted.
Television channels showed that a person from a private laboratory was waiting outside her home to test her for the Covid-19.
The appeals court released the two-time presidential candidate on bail of $ 20,000 on Thursday , but prohibited her from living with her husband, American Mark Vito Villanella , because they are both under investigation in the same case.
