...linked to the feared National Intelligence Service (SIN), which has been accused of killing 17 people in Lima's Barrios Altos in 1991 and causing the disappearance of nine university students and a professor in La Cantuta in 1993.

Fujimori has also suffered some personal embarrassments: his estranged wife Susana Higuchi embarked on a brief hunger strike last January, protesting her disqualification as a congressional candidate. Fujimori's Vice Minister of the Interior was rumored to have connections to drug traffickers after...
