Fujimori Pardon Puts Peru In Turmoil
It has been nearly two decades since Alberto Fujimori and his family occupied Peru’s presidential palace and gripped the Andean nation’s attention.It was one of the country's most turbulent chapters. Now the family is once more at the center of political upheaval. Thanks to a pardon from President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, 79-year-old Fujimori became a free man on Christmas Eve. The pardon cleared him of graft and rights convictions less than halfway into a 25-year jail sentence.
