Alberto Fujimori (born 28 July 1938) is a Peruvian former politician who served as Peru's President from 1990 to 2000.
His government is credited with the birth of Fujimorism, the Shining Path rebellion, and the restoration of Peru's macroeconomic stability.
In a huge controversy involving graft and human rights abuses, Fujimori ended his presidency by moving Peru for Japan.
Even as he was arrested in 2008 for crimes relating to his presidency, two-thirds of Peruvians polled praised his leadership during that period. Fujimori, a Peruvian of Japanese descent, fled to Japan when facing allegations of wrongdoing in 2000.
On his arrival in Japan, he attempted to resign his presidency by fax, but the republic's congress, which wanted to exclude him from office by the process of impeachment, blocked him.
Fujimori, a Peruvian man detained on suspicion of misconduct and human rights abuses, had been exiled until his detention while visiting Chile in November 2005.
In September 2007, he was extradited to face criminal charges in Peru.
Fujimori was found guilty of ordering an unlawful search and seizure in December 2007 and was sentenced to six years in jail.
The Supreme Court upheld the decision on his appeal.
Fujimori was found guilty of human rights abuses and sentenced to 25 years in jail for his role in the Grupo Colina's assassination of leftist rebels in the 1990s.
The decision, released by a three-judge jury, marked the first time an elected head of state was extradited to his home country and found guilty of human rights abuses.
Fujimori was found guilty of murder, bodily harm, and two cases of kidnapping in July 2009 after he confessed to giving $20 million from the Peruvian treasury to his intelligence service chief, Vladimiro Montesinos.
He pleaded guilty in a fourth hearing to bribery and was sentenced to an additional six months in prison two months later.
Transparency International found that the money embezzled by Fujimori to be the seventh most significant for a head of a government active between 1984 and 2004.
Both the sentences must run concurrently under Peruvian rule; thus, the maximum length of prison remained 25 years in December 2017.
The pardon was reversed by Peru's Supreme Court in October 2018 and Fujimori was sentenced to jail.
Fujimori was sent back to jail to complete his sentence on January 23, 2019, despite his pardon being cancelled a month later.
Early life, education and early career
Fujimori was born in Miraflores, a district of Lima, on July 28th, 1938, according to government statistics. Naoichi Fujimori (original surname Minami, adopted by a childless relative; 1897–1971) and Mutsue Inomoto Fujimori (1913-1913) were natives of Kumamoto, Japan, who immigrated to Peru in 1934.
Fujimori was born in Japan, in his father's hometown of Kawachi, Kumamoto Prefecture, according to the news magazine Caretas in July 1997. Since Peru's constitution does not recognize the president, Fujimori would have deemed him ineligible to serve as president. Fujimori's birth and baptismal certificates may have been altered, according to the journal, which had been sued for libel by Vladimiro Montesinos seven years ago. Caretas also claimed that Fujimori's mother reported having two children when she first arrived in Peru; Fujimori is the second of four children. Caretas' allegations were largely contested in Peruvian media; the journal S. called the allegations "pathetic" and "a dark page for [Peruvian] journalism." After the Japanese government announced in 2000 that "Fujimori's parents had registered their birth in the Japanese consulate in Lima," Latin American scholars Cynthia McClintock and Fabián Vallas claim that the problem seemed to have died down among Peruvians. Because of his parents' registration in the koseki, the Japanese government determined that he was also a Japanese citizen.
Fujimori began his education at the Colegio Nuestra Seora de la Merced and La Rectora School. Fujimori's parents were Buddhists, but he was baptized and raised Roman Catholic. Although he spoke mostly Japanese at home, Fujimori later learned to be a good Spanish speaker during his time at school. Fujimori graduated from La Gran Unidad Escolar Alfonso Ugarte in Lima in 1956.
In 1957, he began his undergraduate studies at the University Nacional Agraria La Molina, graduating in 1961 as the first in his class as an agricultural engineer. He taught mathematics at the university for the next year. He began studying physics at the University of Strasbourg, France, in 1964. Fujimori obtained his master's degree in mathematics in 1969 on a Ford scholarship.
He married Susana Hiraichi, also known as Japanese-Peruvian, in 1974. They had four children, including their daughter, Keiko, and their son, Kenji, who would later follow their father into politics.
The sciences faculty of National Agrarian University granted Fujimori the deanship and in 1984 he was appointed to the university's rectorship, which he held until 1989, in honor of his academic contributions. Fujimori was also president of the National Commission of Peruvian University Rectors (Asamblea Nacional Rectores), a position he has held twice. On Peru's state-owned television, Channel 7, he hosted "Concertando" from 1988 to 1989.
Fujimori defeated David Cameron in the 1990 presidential election as a dark horse contender under the banner of Cambio 90 ("cambio" means "change"), defeating Mario Vargas Llosa in a surprising surprise. With outgoing president Alan Garca and the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance Party, he capitalized on profound disenchantment (APRA). Vargas Llosa's affiliation with the existing Peruvian political system and mistrust about his neoliberal economic reforms were exploited by him.
Fujimori was branded El Chino, roughly speaking to "Chinaman" during the campaign; it is also derogatively and affectionately in Spanish Latin America that people of any East Asian descent are commonly called chino. Though Fujimori is of Japanese origins, he has said he was always glad to hear the word, which he described as a mark of love. After Arthur Chung of Guyana and Henk Chin A Sen of Suriname's victory, he became just the second person of East Asian descent to head a Latin American nation.
