Less than two months into her presidency, Peru's Keiko Fujimori spent this week doing two things simultaneously on U.S. soil: courting foreign investors with a fiscal pitch anchored in $100 billion in reserves, and pledging before the United Nations to pursue criminal networks all the way from the triggerman to the financial structure that funds him.
For the roughly 750,000 Peruvians living in the United States — and the families back home who depend on the money they wire — that two-track message defines the presidency they either pinned their hopes on or feared from the start.
