13 Fujimori's ex-ministers face trial in Peru
Thirteen former Peruvian cabinet ministers will be tried for their alleged part in ex-president Alberto Fujimori's 1992 "self-coup", the Supreme Court announced Monday.

The former ministers include Victor Joy Way, Carlos Bolonaare, Jaime Yoshiyama who were former premiers. The Supreme Court also announced that it will delay the trial of Fujimori until he is extradited from Chile.

Prosecutors filed a lawsuit against the 13 former ministers last September, seeking prison sentences of between 12 and 18 years against them and their expatriation upon release from prison.

Prosecutors also suggested that the Supreme Court sentence Alberto Fujimori 20 years in prison and 10 years in exile.

On April 5, 1992, with the support of the army, Fujimori dissolved the parliament, closed the courts and the prosecutors' offices under the rubric of a "National Emergency and Reconstruction" government, which was also called "self-coup."
