The lawyer alluded to the preventive prison put in place by the PF leader, Keiko Fujimori.
Giulliana Loza, Fujimori's lawyer, told El Comercio that her sponsor "did not know" everything that was revealed by Yoshiyama.
"This is the acknowledgment that the Lord is making.We welcome the fact that he did it, but we would have liked to do it before because Ms. Fujimori is already in prison for 26 days," said Loza.

"The question is why he is saying it now and not before, then the weight of his version falls on someone who has already died, and it is not possible to corroborate it, for me it is not credible and it does not matter. is not credible that, with the trust I had with Keiko Fujimori, I would not have told him about the origin of this money, "he said.
For the criminal Carlos Caro, "from the point of view of the procedure, it is a belated declaration". He added that it was "a well-known strategy for blaming the dead man".
"The only word of the Lord Yoshiyama it is not enough to destroy the theory of the case that the prosecution has already consolidated, "he said.
He said that it could be a strategy to alleviate the criminal burden of Keiko Fujimori, by designating her as "a person who knew nothing."
"This could seek to promote it and weaken pre-trial detention now that the appeal to the measure is imminent," he said.
