PUBLICATION DATE: November 01, 2003
To power in Peru, President Alberto Fujimori swept in 1990 on a tide of public enthusiasm for his promised reforms. Really, over the next five years Fujimori carried through something of an economic turn around wonder. He established a willing partner in the war against drugs and also vanquished a homegrown terrorist movement. The international community, including the US, supported him and admired. Vladimiro Montesinos, a shadowy body, stood by the side of Fujimori. Never made to any office that was official, Montesinos still became the virtual head of the intelligence service and exceptional sway was exercised by him over Fujimori. With Montesinos’ behind the scenes support, the government of Fujimori became more authoritarian, expanding executive influence over the military, the judiciary and the legislature. But with the television airing of a videotape in which he bribed an opposition representative, the reason for Montesinos’ extraordinary effectiveness was radically exposed in September 2000. This case paints a seldom glimpsed picture of corruption in activity. It describes Montesinos’ rise to power, and the mechanisms and protocols of fraud and bribery.
