Court: Peru’s ex-leader must be extradited

? Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori must be extradited to Peru to face trial for corruption and human rights violations, including accusations he ordered the death-squad killings of 25 people, Chile’s Supreme Court ruled Friday.

Fujimori, who calls the charges politically motivated, said the development is all according to his plan. He said that while his government made mistakes, his conscience is clear.

Alberto Chaigneau, a member of Chile’s Supreme Court, said it was “much easier than expected” to approve the extradition on two human rights violations and five corruption charges stemming from Fujimori’s 1990-2000 rule. Six of the 13 charges for which Peru requested extradition were denied.

Chile plans to extradite the 69-year-old former ruler as soon as possible. Fujimori’s Chilean attorney, Gabriel Zaliasnik, said the former president would not try to stall.
