LIMA, Peru (AP) -- Peruvian presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori is denying a news report raising questions about whether she was involved in money laundering.
A local television network broadcast a report Sunday night suggesting the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating a member of Fujimori's party for money laundering. The allegations come just weeks before the presidential runoff election.
The report said the agency was investigating whether Joaquin Ramirez of Fujimori's Fuerza Popular party laundered millions for the candidate.

Fujimori has struggled to cast off the legacy of her father, jailed former President Alberto Fujimori.
