Peru’s roller-coaster presidential election had another twist as a prosecutor seeks to detain candidate Keiko Fujimori for violating the terms of her bail just as she disputes the results of a tight runoff against leftist Pedro Castillo.
Fujimori, who has been jailed three times since 2018, is being investigated for money laundering and leading a criminal organization, although she hasn’t been convicted of anything. Her husband and several of her closest aides are also under investigation.
