From prison, the leader of Fuerza Po[CENSORED]r, Keiko Fujimori, affirmed that despite the process she faces, which she described as being arbitrary, she has not sought political asylum in any embassy. This morning the Criminal Appeals Chamber evaluates the request to revoke the preventive detention for 36 months against him, imposed by Judge Richard Concepción Carhuancho.

                                                        

"I have never escaped. If there is something that characterizes me, it is having returned again and again to Peru. I have not sought asylum despite the fact that several people have suggested it to me, "Keiko Fujimori said in the minutes of her participation through a video conference.

Likewise, the leader of the Fujimorista group reaffirmed her accusation against Concepción Carhuancho of being biased in the process and committing abuses against her.

"Today I reaffirm, all these arbitrariness leave serious doubts about the impartiality of a judge who a priori would have decided to sentence me to preventive detention, dinamitando due process," he said.

In addition, according to Keiko Fujimori, the tax thesis presents serious lies that are intended to accuse him for the alleged crime of money laundering, without corroborating what was declared by the protected witnesses.

"How can a person be deprived of his liberty because of what a witness said without having been corroborated (the facts)? So far I do not understand (...) According to the prosecutor (José Domingo) Pérez, Odebrecht would have financed my campaign with the aim of securing a benefit; However, this thesis is disrupted because the receipt of this alleged contribution has not been proven, also because we never became a government, "he said.

On the other hand, Fujimori Higuchi denied having knowledge of the money received by Jaime Yoshiyama from the businessman Juan Rassmuss. "Do not you think that if I had known it I would not have said it from the beginning? If I had known I would have avoided this cruel nightmare because the simulation of contributions is an administrative fault, "he said.

Finally, he referred that there is no procedural risk of escape in his case or any intention to obstruct justice and requested respect for due process and his presumption of innocence.

"The prosecution has not shown a single proof that I have committed a crime, my resume shows that there is no procedural risk of escape. There has been no act of obstruction of justice, "he said.
