 LIMA, Peru (AP) - Peru's imprisoned former spy chief is back on the political scene, with allegations that presidential candidate Ollanta Humala helped him escape from the country six years ago by staging a fake military rebellion.
Vladimiro Montesinos, head of intelligence for former President Alberto Fujimori, made the statement Friday in court during one of his many corruption trials. An audio of the statement was replayed on television and radio newscasts.
Humala, a retired army lieutenant colonel, launched his political career when he led a short-lived military uprising in Oct. 29, 2000, against Fujimori, whose government collapsed a month later amid corruption scandals centered around the intelligence chief.
