Alberto Ken’ya Fujimori, also known as Kenya Fujimori, was President of Peru from July 28, 1990 to November 17, 2000.

Fujimori was credited by many with restoring macroeconomic stability to Peru after the turbulent presidency of Alan García Pérez (1985-1990) and bringing peace to the country after many years of political violence. In 2000, he left Peru to attend an APEC summit in Brunei and then continued on to Japan, from where he resigned.

The Congress of the Republic refused to accept his resignation and removed him from office. It then barred him from holding any elective office for 10 years. In October 2005, he stated he would run in Peru’s April 2006 presidential election, despite the 10-year ban, but he was officially disqualified. After travelling to Chile, he was detained by Chilean authorities from November 7, 2005 to May 18, 2006, when he was released on condition that he remains in the country. The Peruvian government formally requested his extradition on January 3, 2006.
