LIMA, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- Keiko Fujimori, head of Peru's opposition Popular Force party, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of money laundering stemming from illegal campaign financing.
Under a court order, she will be held in detention for 36 months as the investigation continues.
She was previously arrested in early October and detained for 10 days, because judicial authorities considered her to be a flight risk.
Fujimori, daughter of jailed ex-president Alberto Fujimori, is one of 12 people suspected of accepting 1 million U.S. dollars in illicit funding from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht to help finance her unsuccessful run for the presidency in 2011.
