Follow-up: More charges against Fujimori

Chilean prosecutors have added the charge of “usurpation of powers” against former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori. Fujimori- who was put under house arrest while awaiting a possible extradition from Chile to Peru- faces eleven counts of corruption and human rights abuses during his decade in power.

On a related note, the presidents of Chile and Peru are expected to meet later this week despite disagreements by each country’s foreign ministers over boundary issues.
