Peruvian investigator to file charges against Fujimori


The Associated Press

LIMA, Peru (January 22, 2001 9:53 p.m. EST
http://www.nandotimes.com) - An investigator appointed by
Alberto Fujimori said Monday that he plans to file charges
against the former president for abusing the use of state
funds in publicity campaigns.

Former president Fujimori has been exiled in Japan since
soon after a corruption scandal brought down his government
in November. After interviewing Fujimori's former publicity
adviser, Jose Ugaz told RPP radio Monday that he would bring
charges against the former president.

Ugaz said publicist Daniel Borobio told him that Fujimori
had ordered that publicity contracts for state entities and
activities go to government-friendly media. Without giving
more details, Ugaz also said evidence shows the "clear
involvement" of Fujimori's top adviser Vladimiro Montesinos
in corrupt acts involving "many millions of dollars."

Fujimori appointed Ugaz to investigate Montesinos for
masterminding a web of corruption spanning arms deals, drug
trafficking and influence peddling.

Allegations of Montesinos' criminal workings grew after a
video aired in September that showed him apparently bribing
a congressman. The ensuing scandal eventually toppled
Fujimori and forced Montesinos into hiding.

Since Saturday, authorities have detained Montesinos'
daughter, sister, brother, sister-in-law and former
secretary, as well as four retired army generals with close
ties to the fugitive former spy chief. They are being held
on a variety of charges, ranging from corruption to
suspicion of money laundering.
