Bloomberg: Fujimori Returns to Peru to Face Human Rights Charges
Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Former President Alberto Fujimori returned to Lima today to face charges of human rights violations and corruption, a day after the Chilean Supreme Court agreed to surrender him.

A Peruvian police Antonov plane landed in the Peruvian capital at 4:35 p.m. local time, in footage broadcast by state television TV Peru. Police surrounded the airport on concerns Fujimori's supporters would stage protests.

``He will have all due security and facilities, but there will be no privileges,'' Interior Minister Luis Alva Castro told Lima-based CPN Radio today. ``He will receive the treatment corresponding to a former president of Peru.'' more...

Unless Fujimori actually wanted to get busted and extradited, what was he thinking when he left Japan and went to Chile?

[Tsuru]

He wants to run for president again. Apparently he still has a lot of support in Peru.

Captain Japan can probably add some perspective - he was following the Fujimori story and wrote an article about it on Sake Drenched Postcards (link on FG front page).

Now 70, he will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Do you think he's kicking himself for leaving Japan?

Daughter hopes Fujimori verdict boosts candidacy

The historic guilty verdict and 25-year sentence imposed on former President Alberto Fujimori for death squad killings and disappearances during his 1990s rule have thrust his daughter Keiko into the spotlight.

The 33-year-old congresswoman says people's outrage over Tuesday's "vengeful" verdict will propel her to Peru's presidency in 2011. Then she'll pardon her father.

But many analysts think Keiko Fujimori's appeal is limited and that she could end up becoming a one-issue candidate on a quixotic crusade.

A three-judge Supreme Court panel found her 70-year-old father guilty of 25 murders in two operations by a military assassination team it said was created to fight the terror of the Shining Path insurgency with state-organized terror.

None of the victims, it said, were connected to any insurgency.

Presiding Judge Cesar San Martin said there was no question Fujimori authorized the creation of the Colina unit, which the court said killed at least 50 people. Fully accepting prosecutors' arguments, the judges gave Fujimori just five years less than the maximum sentence.

It didn't matter that the disgraced strongman was widely credited for having rescued Peru from the brink of economic and political collapse after winning office in 1990 as a political unknown.

25 years for 25 murders actually seems like a pretty light sentence to me. Anyway, it'll be interesting if his daughter actually does what she says she will.

[Tsuru]

....aaaand he's going away for 7.5 years.

Fujimori family feud spurred Kuczynski resignation in Peru
The Japan Times | 23 Mar 2018
Five centuries after brothers Atahualpa and Huascar engaged in a bloody battle for the Inca throne, a similar feud is tearing apart Peru’s powerful Fujimori clan.
This time, it is siblings Keiko and Kenji — the daughter and son of disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori.
The immediate effect of their open feud was to effectively remove Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s last hold on power.
But analysts believe the feud will reverberate throughout Peruvian politics for some time to come...more...
