Peru Electoral Body Opens Case Against Keiko Fujimori Over Alleged False Filing as She Attends Kast Inauguration

Analysts describe the Chile trip as a bid to align with a rising Southern Cone conservative bloc.

Overview

  • Lima Centro 1’s Special Electoral Jury launched a sanctioning process after registry records showed Fujimori appears as manager of KYARA29 E.I.R.L., a discrepancy with her sworn filing.
  • If confirmed, penalties range from a fine of 1 to 10 tax units with corrections and referral to prosecutors, while concealment of criminal convictions can trigger exclusion before the vote.
  • Similar proceedings were opened against Rafael López Aliaga, Alfonso López Chau and Herbert Caller over inconsistencies tied to undeclared roles or shareholdings.
  • Fujimori paused parts of her campaign to attend José Antonio Kast’s swearing‑in in Chile alongside Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, Rodrigo Paz and María Corina Machado, presenting herself as a regional center‑right ally.
  • In a CNN Chile interview, she gave limited answers about 28 congressional nominees with convictions, defended her father from the “dictator” label, backed a potential U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro and endorsed open investment by U.S. and Chinese firms under clear rules.
