The former spy chief Vladimiro Montesinos collapsed in a Peruvian court
moments before the verdict in his first public trial on massive corruption
charges was to be delivered. The judgement was postponed.
Montesinos, who triggered a corruption scandal in 2000 that led to the
downfall of then-president Alberto Fujimori, is charged at the trial with
"influence peddling".
He had been standing for about an hour when, with the court reading the
lead-up to his verdict, he fell suddenly to his knees and was taken from
the courthouse on Thursday
