FameRank: 4

"Alberto Fujimori Fujimori" is a Peruvian politician. He was List of Presidents of Peru/President of Peru from 28 July 1990 to 17 November 2000. A controversial figure, Fujimori has been credited with the creation of Fujimorism, defeating the Shining Path insurgency in Peru and restoring its macroeconomics/macroeconomic stability. However, he was criticized for his authoritarianism/authoritarian way of ruling the country (especially after 1992) and was convicted for human rights violations. Even amid his prosecution in 2008 for crimes against humanity relating to his presidency, two-thirds of Peruvians polled voiced approval for his leadership in that period.

A Japanese Peruvian/Peruvian of Japanese descent, Fujimori fled to Japan in 2000 amid a corruption scandal, where he attempted to resign his presidency. His resignation was rejected by the Congress of the Republic of Peru/Congress of the Republic, which preferred to remove him from office by the process of impeachment. Wanted in Peru on charges of corruption and human rights abuses, Fujimori maintained a self-imposed exile until his arrest during a visit to Chile in November 2005. He was finally extradited to face criminal charges in Peru in September 2007.

I have strongly rejected the proposal to pardon and transfer her to the United States, ... I do not have the legal power to pardon terrorists and even if I did, I would not use it.

I want to go back (to Peru)someday, but I don't know when.

You can't talk about peace nor agreement while terror is used as the main argument.

The denunciations about $18 million (being moved) to a bank account in Singapore during my trip are completely false.

Without dialogue, there will never be a solution.

We have declared a total freeze on military movement.

Strengthening of democratic institutions ... and the creation of jobs and prosperity.
