Chilean Supreme Court Rejects Fujimori Extradition

HeadlineJul 12, 2007

In Chile, a Supreme Court judge has rejected Peru’s request for the extradition of its ex-President Alberto Fujimori. Fujimori faces several corruption and human rights charges stemming from his decade as Peru’s president in the 1990s. The charges include the killing of political opponents, illegal phone tapping and bribery. The extradition request will now go before a second Supreme Court hearing, which will have final say.
