Kenji Fujimori Rules Out Family Rift After Skipping Keiko's Inauguration

Former Peruvian congressman Kenji Fujimori publicly denied reports of a family conflict with his sister, President Keiko Fujimori, after he was absent from her inauguration ceremony on 28 July 2026. In interviews he said there is no "bronca" and that the siblings maintain a respectful relationship, emphasizing his wish for the country's stability.

Kenji explained that his absence is due to legal restrictions: a June 2026 ruling by the Permanent Chamber of the Supreme Court sentenced him to a suspended four‑year‑six‑month prison term for influence‑peddling and ordered a civil reparation of 500,000 soles. His wife, Erika Muñoz, reiterated that the sentence prevents him from participating in politically charged events. Other Fujimori siblings attended the inauguration, but Kenji stressed his focus on personal projects and the nation's well‑being.
