Yeah, he became an insta-citizen a few years back. One of my students goes to university with Alberto's son. Let's see what she says when I tell her the news...
Japan says plans no action now against Fujimori
DW-World service --09.03.2003 ? 09:00 UTC
The international police agency Interpol has reportedly handed a request to Japan for the arrest of Peru's former president, Alberto Fujimori....Fujimori, who is of Japanese extraction, fled to Japan in November 2000 amid a corruption and bribery scandal, and took Japanese citizenship shortly afterwards. Japan's constitution forbids it from extraditing its citizens. Tokyo has already said it plans to take no action for the moment against Fujimori.

Japan 'won't extradite Fujimori'
BBC / Monday, 10 March, 2003, 02:02 GMT
Mr Fujimori is the son of Japanese immigrants to Peru
Japan has no plans to extradite Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru, to his home country to face charges, Tokyo has said...
Peruvian Justice Minister Fausto Alvarado said that Interpol had communicated Lima's request for Mr Fujimori on Saturday.
He said it should be enforceable anywhere in the world because the charges of homicide, injuries and kidnapping it featured amounted to crimes against humanity.
Germany, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain and other countries recently said they would detain Mr Fujimori if he attempted to enter their territories.
Peru said last week it would formally ask Japan for Mr Fujimori's extradition by June or July.
