Former Peruvian strongman released from clinic after pardon
LIMA, Peru — Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori left the clinic Thursday where he has been receiving treatment since his controversial pardon from a 25-year jail sentence.
The 79-year-old former strongman departed in a wheelchair alongside his youngest son less than two weeks after President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski announced his release.
Dressed in jeans and a blue polo shirt, Fujimori waved to a crowd of supporters gathered outside the clinic before entering a black SUV.
“We are very happy to welcome our father in this new chapter of life!” daughter Keiko Fujimori posted on Twitter along with a photo featuring the family.
