Alberto Fujimori managed to squeeze more legal proceedings into one lifetime than most crime families manage across generations. Governing Peru from 1990 to 2000, he oversaw death squads that killed 25 civilians and a broader conflict that left an estimated 69,000 dead. He fled to Japan in 2000 amid a corruption scandal, got arrested in Chile in 2005 while attempting a political comeback, spent two years fighting extradition, lost, and was eventually sentenced in 2009 to 25 years in prison for human rights abuses and corruption. Then, in a Christmas Eve gesture that reeked of backroom dealing, President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski pardoned him in December 2017 — the same Kuczynski who would resign months later over his own undisclosed ties to Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht. Courts promptly ordered Fujimori to stand trial again for the 1992 killings of six farmers. He was eventually released again in December 2023 after Peru's constitutional court reinstated the pardon. He died in September 2024 at 86. His daughter Keiko, meanwhile, has been jailed twice on pre-trial detention for allegedly taking $1.2 million in Odebrecht bribes. The family brand remains remarkably consistent.
