During the trial last week, the former leader of a Peruvian “death squad” testified that Fujimori was well aware of several massacres committed under his regime:
Former president Alberto Fujimori met in 1991 with the head of a military death squad that killed at least 25 people, despite his statements to the contrary, a witness in Fujimori's trial said Wednesday...
The retired head of Peru's military intelligence, Clever Pino Benamu, told the court Wednesday that Fujimori's close aide Vladimiro Montesinos and the country's top generals also attended the 1991 meeting he recalled with Rivas.
Japan's request came while Peruvian President Alan Garcia visited the Asian country (image) in order to strengthen political and economic ties.
