Fujimori awaits abuse-of-power verdict

Peru’s former president Alberto Fujimori faces a possible seven-year sentence today in a separate trial on abuse of authority charges, a day after erupting in anger during one of the hearings.

Fujimori, who ruled Peru from 1990-2000 before fleeing to Japan as his government imploded in scandal, faces a total of seven human rights and corruption charges, and multiple trials.
