Alberto Fujimori's CIA-backed government
In 1990, Alberto Fujimori was elected president of Peru. His election was a shocking event for serious political analysts. Fujimori was actually a mediocre presidential candidate, who even lacked a government program. But during his presidential campaign, Fujimori met Peruvian lawyer (and CIA spook) Vladimiro Montesinos, who provided funding and media exposure to secure Fujimori's victory. Fujimori fled [1]
In April 2009, Fujimori was convicted of human rights violations and sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in killings and kidnappings by the Grupo Colina death squad during his government's battle against leftist guerrillas in the 1990s. The verdict delivered by a three-judge panel marked the first time that an elected head of state has been extradited to his home country, tried, and convicted of human rights violations. Fujimori was specifically found guilty of murder, bodily harm, and two cases of kidnapping.[2][3][4][5][6]
In July 2009 Fujimori was sentenced to 7 and a half years in prison for embezzlement, after he admitted to giving $15 million out of the Peruvian treasury to the former intelligence service chief, Vladimiro Montesinos.[7] Two months later in a fourth trial, he pleaded guilty to bribery and was given an additional six-year term.[8]
Under Peruvian law all the sentences must run concurrently, with a maximum length of imprisonment of 25 years.
