Alberto Fujimori governed Peru from 1990 to 2000, overseeing a counterinsurgency campaign that killed an estimated 69,000 people and a corruption apparatus that would make a Bond villain blush. In 2009, a Peruvian court sentenced him to 25 years in prison for human rights abuses and corruption — a rare moment of accountability for a sitting head of state. He served roughly 15 years before a series of pardons, court reversals, and constitutional gymnastics secured his release in December 2023. He died in September 2024 at 86, a free man. His intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, fared somewhat worse, collecting convictions across more than 60 trials including gun-running, money laundering, and directing death squads. The family business, meanwhile, continued under daughter Keiko Fujimori, who managed to get herself jailed twice on pre-trial detention for allegedly taking $1.2 million in Odebrecht bribes — a charge she denies with the conviction of someone very practiced at denying things. Peru has now cycled through enough corrupt and imprisoned presidents to staff a medium-sized law firm. The Fujimoris remain the franchise.
