SUBJECT: PERU REQUESTS EX-PRESIDENT FUJIMORI'S EXTRADITION
FROM CHILE
1. The Peruvian Government formally requested ex-President
Alberto Fujimori's extradition from Chile on 1/3. The
diplomatic note containing the request was signed by Foreign
Minister Oscar Maurtua and was personally delivered to
Chilean Foreign Minister Ignacio Walker by Peru's Ambassador
in Santiago Jose Antonio Meier.
2. The extradition request reportedly covers 14 separate
criminal charges against Fujimori relating to the following:
- The murder of 15 people in Barrios Altos and the
disappearance and killing of 9 students and one professor at
the University La Cantuta.
- Payment of USD 15 million to Fujimori's National Security
Advisor Vladimiro Montesinos for undefined "services."
- Irregular payments to Congress members and politicians who
switched political partes in support of Fujimori.
- The diversion of funds donated to the NGO Apenkai into the
pockets of Fujimori family members.
- Irregular purchases of machinery from China.
- Fujimori's unauthorized search of Vladimiro Montesinos'
residence (following the latter's flight),without having a
representative of the Prosecutor's Office present.
- Ordering telephone intercepts of major public figures in
Peru.
- The issuance of emergency decrees solely to expedite the
purchase of machinery from China.
- The disappearance of intelligence agent Mariela Barreto and
the torture allegedly inflicted on Leonor La Rosa and Susana
Higuchi (Fujimori's former wife).
- The diversion of funds from the National Intelligence
Service (SIN) to the Office of Presidential Security (Casa
Militar).
- Payments to Hector Faisal and the web page "APROVED" to
defame opponents of the Fujimori regime.
- Payments to the tax authority (SUNAT) to cover a USD 2
million debt owed by publisher Daniel Borobio.
3. The Peruvian Government also requested that the
Government of Chile maintain Fujimori in detention while the
Chilean Supreme Court considers the extradition request,
citing the severity of several of the crimes imputed to him
and arguing that he remains a flight risk.
