Peru
Trusts Chile on Fujimori
Peruvian President, Alan Garcia, expressed
confidence in a fair decision by the Chilean
Supreme Court regarding the extradition of
former president, Alberto Fujimori.
Asked about the imminent decree by Chilean
Attorney General, Garcia said he expected the
court "to do justice" and that "there would be a
decision in favor of Peru."
The president did not give details or refer to
press rumors according to which the extradition
of Fujimori could embarrass the government and
even affect its stability.
La Republica daily considers that the former
president would be brought to Peru in about six
months after the ruling of the prosecution and
expected appeals by the defense.
According to procedures the former president if
extradited for trial over genocide and other
charges would arrive in Lima handcuffed and with
a police guard.
The former attorney of Anti-Corruption, Ronald
Gamara, said he trusted that Fujimori would be
extradited but that the former president could
claim Parliamentary status to persuade the
Peruvian government to abort his delivery.
