Ex-president’s courtroom outburst now a ringtone
Peru ? Former President Alberto Fujimori’s recent courtroom cries are now a free, downloadable ringtone, the latest political outburst from Latin America to pierce pop culture.
“Soy inocente!” – “I’m innocent!” – the famously stoic Fujimori shouted Monday as he waved his arms in outrage at the start of his kidnapping and murder trial.
That cry is now celebrated in a ringtone loop, answered by a famed soundbite from Spain’s King Juan Carlos telling Venezuela’s outspoken President Hugo Chavez to “shut up” during a heated confrontation at a summit in Chile last month.
In the background, behind the cries of innocence and calls for quiet, Fujimori’s catchy techno-cumbia campaign anthem – “Baile del Chino” or “The Chinaman’s Dance” – plays.
Fujimori faces up to 30 years in prison for allegedly authorizing an army death squad to kill leftist rebels and collaborators.
