AP/ Long Profile
AP: Keiko Fujimori's "...chances in the 5 June runoff may depend on which alternative Peruvians fear more: the daughter of a man serving a 25-year sentence for authorizing death squad killings and looting the treasury, or leftist military man Ollanta Humala, whom critics liken to Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
Polls show voters almost evenly spit, though several surveys have put Fujimori slightly ahead.
Her biggest challenge has been trying to cope with the shadow of her father's legacy."
AND : "Experts believe no other Peruvian government has looted the nation's treasury on the scale of Alberto Fujimori's."
Some estimate members of the Alberto Fujimori administration stole...$600 mn usd. Others say it was billions.
ALSO: Fujimori has hired former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani as an adviser.
Observers speculate that she wants to bolster her law-and-order image...without using her father's reputation of wielding an iron fist.
