Prosecutor requests prison for Peru presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori

The lead prosecutor in an ongoing Peruvian corruption case urged a judge Thursday to send presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori back to preventive prison in connection with an ongoing corruption case, even as votes continue to be tallied.
Fujimori has dismissed the request as absurd. She currently trails Pedro Castillo, a high school teacher who has never held public office, in a knife-edge race to be the next president of Peru. Turnout in Sunday's election was 77%.More Related News
