Fujimori Has Laughing
Fit In Court
Former Peruvian
President Alberto
Fujimori on Monday had a
minute-long laughing fit
during his trial when he
heard that his former
military aides used to
spy on him through the
keyhole.
Fujimori, extradited
from Chile last
September, faces trial
for alleged atrocities
committed during his
1990-2000 presidency,
including two massacres
in 1991 and 1992.
Fujimori had a laughing
fit when his former
aide-de-camp, colonel
Miguel Bernal, on the
witness stand, said he
and other military aides
to the president used to
spy on him through the
keyhole just before he
was going to travel
somewhere.
"We found out the place
we would travel to by
spying on him through
the keyhole. If Fujimori
was dressed in short
sleeves, it was a hot
zone. But if the
clothing was thick, it
meant the trip was to a
cold zone," said Bernal.
Fujimori covered his
face and breathed
heavily after hearing
the answer and was
unable to contain his
laughing fit.
Many people who were
present at the hearing
also laughed.
Meanwhile, Fujimori's
lawyer Cesar Nakasaki
denied that the former
president receives night
visits and has a
portable computer or
access to international
telephone calls.
