Judge dismisses bid to detain Peru presidential hopeful Fujimori

Lima, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Jun, 2021 ) :A Peruvian judge on Monday dismissed a prosecutor's request for corruption-accused presidential hopeful Keiko Fujimori to be returned to preventive detention, even as the country awaits the outcome of June 6 elections in which she is vying for the top job.

Judge Victor Zuniga ruled "unfounded" a request by prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez for Fujimori's parole to be rescinded after she allegedly met a witness in her trial in violation of the conditions for her provisional freedom.
