Peru’s former President Alberto Fujimori has passed away at the age of 86, as confirmed by his daughter. Fujimori served as president from 1990 to 2000, a period marked by both significant economic reforms and serious allegations of corruption that ultimately led to his removal from office.
Known for his aggressive tactics against a leftist guerrilla movement during his presidency, Fujimori faced numerous accusations of human rights violations. After fleeing Peru, he was arrested and extradited, leading to convictions that resulted in his imprisonment.
His daughter, Keiko Fujimori, shared the news of his death, stating that he succumbed “after a long battle with cancer.”
