The president of the Fuerza Popular political party, Keiko Fujimori, will travel from this Wednesday, November 30 to December 9, 2022 to Spain and England to participate in political and academic events, with the authorization of the Second Criminal Chamber of National Appeals.
The high court reversed an earlier ruling by the judge Víctor Zúñiga Urday, in charge of the preliminary investigation once morest him for alleged money launderingwho denied the travel authorization, before the opposition of the prosecutor José Domingo Pérez.
Keiko Fujimori’s defense requested permission to travel from November 30 to December 5to participate in the city of Oxford (England) as an exhibitor at the ‘Oxford Union Society’.
Following the 5 on December 9 will travel to the city of Madrid, Spain, to participate in an exchange of political ideas and learn regarding the activities of the “Word Law Foundation”.
Flight Hazard
Judge Zúñiga and the Special Team of prosecutors in the Lava Jato case considered that Keiko Fujimori’s departure from the country might allow him to flee the country to evade investigations, in a process that is in the prosecution control phase, prior to the public trial.
But, heThe Appeals Chamber pointed out that any risk can be avoided if the investigated party, before traveling, submits to the court a detailed report of her day-to-day travel itinerary, the places she intends to visit and the date and time of her return to the country..
The travel authorization is signed by judges Iván Quispe Auca, Edgar Medina Salas and María Guillén Ledesma.
In the investigation for the crime of Money Laundering, Keiko Fujimori complies with a restricted appearance, with an impediment to leave the country and rules of conduct, which include not changing address without prior authorization from the judicial authority.
Meanwhile, on the political level, a few weeks ago the Fuerza Popular congressmen voted once morest a travel authorization for the President of the Republic, Pedro Castillo, to participate in Mexico, at the Summit of the Pacific Alliance that should have been held on 24 to November 26.
Due to the lack of authorization, the event had to be suspended and the Summit of the Pacific Alliance will be held in Lima, in the near future.
