Alberto Fujimori
Albert Fujimori is a former Peruvian politician. He was President of Peru fromJuly 1990 toNovember 2000. A controversial figure, Fujimori ended his presidency by fleeing Peru for Japan amid a major corruption scandal and human rights violations. Despite this, some commentators have credited his government with the creation of Fujimorism, defeating the Shining Path insurgency and restoring Perus macroeconomic stability. Even amid his prosecution in 2008 for crimes against humanity relating to his presidency, twothirds of Peruvians polled voiced approval for his leadership in that period.
According to government records, Fujimori was born onJuly 1938, in Miraflores, a district of Lima. His parents, Naoichi Fujimori and Mutsue Inomoto Fujimori , were natives of Kumamoto, Japan, who immigrated to Peru in 1934. He holds dual Peruvian and Japanese citizenship, his parents having secured the latter through the Japanese Consulate.
