Peruvian Justice rules 18 months of impediment to leave the country for former President Alberto Fujimori

Alberto Fujimori will be released again 1:15 (CNN Spanish) — The Judicial Power of Peru issued this Thursday 18 months of restricted appearance and impediment to leave the country against former President Alberto Fujimori. The measure corresponds to the case opened by the accusation, by the Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office, of the qualified homicide of six citizens in the town of Pativilca, north of Lima, which occurred during Fujimori’s presidential term. The decision was disseminated through the Twitter accounts of the Judiciary and the National Prosecutor’s Office. The senior deputy prosecutor, Luis Ramírez, of the Human Rights and Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office, argued that this measure will guarantee the presence of the former president throughout the trial, which is different from the others for which Fujimori has already been tried and convicted. This situation takes place days after the Constitutional Court declared the habeas corpus founded, which restores the humanitarian pardon that was granted to Fujimori by then President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski on Christmas 2016, a measure that was later revoked by the judiciary itself. Fujimori still remains in the custody of the Peruvian justice system. Consulted in this regard, Alberto Fujimori’s lawyer, César Nakazaki, told CNN that the former president’s defense acquiesced to the request of the Prosecutor’s Office from the beginning of the hearing and that the idea is to give the assurance that Fujimori will remain in the country. if he gets his freedom again.
