LIMA—A Peruvian judge late on Oct. 17 freed conservative opposition leader Keiko Fujimori from jail where she spent the past week pending charges in a money laundering probe.
Judge Cesar Sahuanay said there was no legal basis for jailing Fujimori and 19 others before trial in connection with alleged payments from Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction group at the center of the region’s biggest ever graft probe.
