Peruvian strongman Alberto Fujimori dies at age 86

Alberto Fujimori, the disgraced former Peruvian president and strongman who died Wednesday in Lima at age 86, had deep connections to Japan, the place he lived from 2000 to 2005 to keep away from extradition again to Peru over expenses of corruption.

In November 2000, Fujimori, the son of Japanese immigrants, fled to Japan amid corruption expenses after an in depth aide was caught accepting a bribe. Afterward, the Peruvian Congress stripped him of his presidency.

Peruvian authorities issued a warrant for his arrest and known as for Japan to return him for trial.
