Alberto Fujimori,
Peru's
ruling dictator from 1990 - 2000, crossed the Pacific Ocean and was arrested
last week in Santiago de Chile while stepping down from a private jet. Peru is
now preparing the extradition notebook. Fujimori's
gamble was obviously a surprise.
A strategy master,
Fujimori makes everyone speculate on the reasons for the trip. Photographies
taken in Chile show a disturbed and evasive Fujimori though. The weekly
magazine Caretas, on its weekly cover, affirms that Fujimori "made a mistake
with Chile". President Lagos and his probable successor, Michelle Bachelet, has
made it clear that they have no intention to provide special status to the
fugitive.
