The accusation against Keiko Fujimori, leader of the Fuerza Popular party, was presented this Thursday by the prosecutor José Domingo Pérez, of the Lava Jato Special Team.

The prosecutor requested 30 years in prison against Keiko Fujimori for the alleged crimes of organized crime, money laundering, obstruction of justice and false declaration in administrative proceedings.

With the presentation of this accusation, the investigation against the leader in the Prosecutor's Office is closed.

And now it is in the hands of the Judicial Power, which must determine his innocence or guilt through a trial.

The accusation that was presented also includes the Popular Force party.

“No matter how much a prosecutor now wants to get into the final stretch of the first round, I will continue to face this persecution and move forward with energy so that together we can overcome this health and economic emergency.
