Alberto+Fujimori

= Alberto Fujimori = Alberto Fujimori was born on July 28, 1938 in the capital of Peru, Lima, and currently he is alive and is 78 years old. Alberto Fujimori’s job was the president of Peru and he is most famous for being a corrupt president, but to his followers he is seen as the person that fought the two major evils. Alberto Fujimori is known to be in scandals and the most famous one that broke down was the Montesinos and when that broke he actually fled the country and went to Japan. The opponents of Alberto also saw him as a person that acted against the democratic institutions just so he could hold the spot of presidency for a longer period time. Another thing Alberto Fujimori is known for is being convicted twice of crimes so he had to serve a sentence in jail twice Once for six years and the other sentence made him serve twenty five years in jail.

Well to start his decade of presidency he won a surprisingly at the polls in 1990 that began the twists and turns throughout the ten year period of time that he was the president of Peru. One of the first things that happened in his first term as president of Peru was he dissolved Peru’s congress with military backing to give himself more power as the president. Another thing that he did to be a corrupt president was he restored the Peruvian congress so he could deceive the people into thinking that he is a good president. This worked for Alberto and he was re-elected into presidency in 1995 and this was a big mistake, however some people saw that Alberto was a corrupt President the other people of Peru didn’t listen to them. Alberto didn’t do anything major in his second term but since the majority of people in Peru liked him he was re-elected for a third term in the 2000 election which was a big year. During his third term as president of Peru Alberto Fujimori was involved in the Montesinos scandal which broke, so he left peru and went to Japan for safety from the Peruvian police.

What Alberto Fujimori did caused a negative affect in that area even though he was detained in Chile in 2005 then moved to Peru in 2007 to serve a six year sentence in jail for abuse of power, then twenty five years in jail in 2009 for humans rights abuses. Though Alberto Fujimori received this hard punishment it doesn’t take back the years that he cheated the Peruvian government system. All the bribery and scandalism corrupted the entire government, although Alberto did one good thing he acted strong in a hostage situation the results of his reactions caused the 72 hostages to be free. Though this was a great cementing of Alberto being a great president it doesn’t out weigh all the catastrophe he caused. Eventually the opposing party took control of Peru’s congress and fixed the government making it the way it should be but it took years to fix the government. That’s how Alberto Fujimori affected that area for the worst.
