Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has passed away at the age of 86 after a long battle with cancer, his daughter Keiko Fujimori announced. Fujimori, known for stabilizing Peru’s economy and cracking down on rebel groups, was also criticized for consolidating power undemocratically. He fled Peru in 2000 following a scandal and was later extradited back to face trial, resulting in a 25-year prison sentence for human rights abuses. He was released on humanitarian grounds in December. Keiko Fujimori announced that her father had planned to seek a fourth term as president in 2026. Fujimori’s death marks the end of a controversial era in Peruvian politics.
