 SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Alberto Fujimori speaks of returning to the presidency in Peru and he's running for Senate in Japan. But his hopes of staying out of prison depend on a court in Chile.
In an interview with The Associated Press late Wednesday, the former Peruvian leader confirmed he had accepted a small party's offer to run for parliament in Japan "because we do not have a presidential election in Peru soon.
"I still have my followers in Peru, and many of them are happy because a political party in such an important country as Japan has called on me to run. This is something very important for them," said Fujimori, who holds both Peruvian and Japanese citizenship.
