LIMA (AFP) – Disgraced former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori returned to prison after an 11-day hospitalisation with heart problems, his daughter announced on Monday.
The 83-year-old, serving a 25-year sentence for crimes against humanity committed during his presidency, had heart surgery in October.
“My father was discharged today from the Centenario Clinic to continue his treatment at Barbadillo prison,” tweeted Keiko Fujimori, the ex-president’s daughter and current leader of the opposition party Fuerza Popular.
“During the day he was taken to the El Golf Clinic for an analysis of the progress of his pulmonary fibrosis,” she added.
Alberto Fujimori, Peru’s president between 1990 and 2000, was rushed to hospital on March 3 after experiencing an irregular heartbeat.
