The questionable previous Peruvian president, Alberto Fujimori has passed on matured 86. To his allies, Fujimori was the president who saved Peru from the twin disasters of psychological warfare and monetary breakdown. To his adversaries, he was a dictator strongman who trampled the country’s popularity-based foundations to safeguard his hang on power. In 2009, he was condemned to 25 years in prison for denials of basic freedoms committed during his time in office – including approving killings completed by death crews – however, he was let out of jail in December after an exculpation on compassionate grounds was restored.

A rural designer brought into the world of Japanese guardians, Fujimori upset the chances when he won the Peruvian administration in 1990 against Nobel Prize-winning creator Mario Vargas Llosa.
