Fujimori added that she thanked Mark Vito for having “fought” by her side “in the midst of the most difficult circumstances” and for having suffered “terrible persecution” just for being her husband.

Keiko Fujimori, investigated for allegedly having received illicit money from the Odebrecht company for her presidential campaigns, has served preventive detention twice.

During one of them, her husband, who is also under investigation, went on a hunger strike outside the prison where, his wife, she was imprisoned.

Keiko Fujimori is the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, imprisoned for crimes committed during his government.

The Peruvian politician and Mark Vito met in the United States while studying and married in Lima in 2004.
