Peru: Prosecutor raids properties linked to Fujimori's political party

10:52 | Lima, Aug. 27.

Peru's Lava Jato Case Special Prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez currently raids two properties linked to Fuerza Popular political party, in order to seize documents and other materials of interest for the investigation on former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori, who is involved in alleged money laundering offenses connected to the Brazilian company Odebrecht.

The buildings are located in Lima's Santiago de Surco and Miraflores districts. 

Members of the National Police's High Complexity Investigations Division (Diviac) participate in the operation.

The Judicial Branch declared well-founded the request made by the Prosecutor's Office to imprison Fujimori because of the danger of obstruction of justice that implied keeping her free.


After having fled to Japan and traveled to Chile —from where he was extradited to Peru— the Fujimori patriarch was sentenced for crimes against human rights and corruption committed during his term in office.
