Son of Fujimori found guilty but avoids jail time

Lima, Dec 9 (Prensa Latina) Kenji, the youngest son of former President Alberto Fujimori was found guilty of bribery by the Peruvian Supreme Court on Tuesday although he will serve the four years and six months of his sentence in freedom.

The highest court ratified the sentence of a previous one that left the sentence of four years and six months pending ratification by the court that gave its final ruling on Tuesday.

However, it applied a legislative decree approved a few months ago that raised from four to five the number of sentence years, within which judges can order the prison sentence to be suspended and replaced by a kind of probation.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office requested that Kenji Fujimori and his co-defendants serve six years and six months as the charges were fully proven, according to the accusation.

The prosecutor pointed out that Kenji Fujimori offered congresspersons of the pro-Fujimori party, led by his older sister Keiko, public works and perks in exchange for not voting for the impeachment of then neoliberal President Padro Pablo Kuczynski.
