Alberto Kenya Fujimori Inomoto is a Peruvian statesman, professor and former engineer who was the President of Peru from 28 July 1990 until 22 November 2000.
Retreat to Japan
In November 13, 2000, Fujimori escaped to Japan, for political refuge, to bypass conviction by the government of Peru.[1]
After Fujimori fled to Japan, the government of Peru requested his extradition, but Japan did not extradite Fujimori; because Japan recognizes Fujimori as a Japanese citizen rather than a Peruvian citizen due to the Master Nationality Rule, and Japan refuses to extradite its citizens to other countries.[2]
Arrest
On 6 November 2005, Alberto Fujimori unexpectedly arrived in Santiago, Chile. He was asserted and extradited to Peru, where he would be imprisoned for 25 years.
