Last week we told you that Alberto Fujimori, the controversial ex-president of Peru, might be extradited from Chile back to his country. Much is being said about how fair a trial Fujimori could get in a country where he is hated by so many, but the Peruvian government is attempting to put those fears to rest.

Peru’s prime minister, Jorge del Castillo, reiterated today that ex-president Alberto Fujimori will have a “fair” trial “without interferences” from the governement if he is extradited to the country and reminded [reporters] that “the ball is in the Chilean justice system’s court right now.”

Del Castillo is referring to the fact that Chile has still not decided whether they will send Fujimori back to his home country. The extradition was first requested by Peru in January of 2006, and current President Alan Garcia’s administration has been accused of not doing enough to get Fujimori processed.
