Fujimori Arrested In Chile

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has been arrested in Santiago, Chile, at the request of Peru. Fujimori arrived Sunday afternoon from Japan in a surprise visit. He recently confirmed that he plans to run in Peru’s presidential elections due to take place next April. This despite the human rights and corruption charges he faces in that country. Fujimori has been in Japan since resigning his presidency in 2000. Peru has unsuccessfully fought his extradition from there since then.
