Ex-President of Peru Fujimori to return to Barbadillo prison
LIMA, Jan 23, 2019, ANDINA. Peru’s National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) on Tuesday informed the Judicial Branch that ex-President Alberto Fujimori can be transferred to Barbadillo prison to serve his sentence, as the humanitarian pardon granted to him in 2017 —by former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski— was annulled by the Judicial Branch, reported the ANDINA.
The aforementioned venue is located at National Police Special Operations Unit (Diroes) headquarters.
In a statement, INPE indicated a general physician is in charge of the health services at the penitentiary center. Plus, there are three nursing technicians working at the facility.
It should be noted Fujimori was held at this prison between 2007 and 2017.
About Fujimori
As is known, ex-President Alberto Fujimori ruled the Inca country between 1990 and 2000.
After having fled to Japan and traveled to Chile —from where he was extradited to Peru— the Fujimori patriarch was sentenced for crimes against human rights and corruption committed during his term in office.
In December 2017, he was pardoned by former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who later stepped down amid a political scandal.
In October 2018, the Judiciary accepted the plaintiffs’ claim to annul the pardon. However, he has been staying at a Lima-based clinic.
