...offered no smoking-gun evidence of direct orders to the Colina Group death squad by Fujimori, Judge Cesar San Martin concluded there was "no question" that Fujimori had sanctioned the killings during massacres in 1991 and '92 as well as the '92 kidnappings of journalist Gustavo Goritti and businessman Samuel Dyer.
