SANTIAGO, Chile — Peru’s disgraced ex-President Alberto Fujimori, wanted there on human rights abuse and corruption charges, was arrested during a surprise visit to Chile, Peru’s foreign minister said late Sunday.
Fujimori, who led Peru from 1990 to 2000, has been a fugitive in his ancestral homeland Japan since he fled there in November 2000, when a corruption scandal toppled his government.
He flew from Japan to Chile on Sunday to try to relaunch his political career and run for president next year.
Maybe “El Chinito,” as Fujimori’s affectionately known, should seek the counsel of Ecuador’s currently-encarcerated ex-prez, Lucio Gutierrez.
