Four days after the presidential elections in Peru, the Attorney General’s office again submitted a request for pre-trial detention against candidate Keiko Fujimori.

With nearly all the votes counted, Marxist-Leninist candidate Berry Lieber got 50.2 percent, and Fujimori got 49.8 percent. However, the electoral office has not yet announced the victory of any candidate.
