Ex Fujimori aide and Laura Bozzo’s ex-boyfriend, Vladimiro Montesinos, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for allegedly selling arms to Colombia’s FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia), according to Spain’s 20 Minutos:
This sentence, which follows 12 other sentences since Montesinos was detained in Venezuela in June of 2001, is the longest and is the one that he must serve out, since in Peru sentences are not culmulative.
Apparently, Montesinos procured the arms from Jordan, and sold them to the FARC, “committing crimes of violation of a foreign state’s sovereignty, political conspiracy, and illegal supplying of arms to subversive groups.”
Meanwhile, Montesinos’s ex main squeeze will gets 4 years of her own on a variety of charges.
Daytime Drama: Laura vs. Laura in Peru

I pretty much coughed up my lunch when I saw that Laura León (of Mexican telenovela “Dos Mujeres, un Camino” fame) was hosting a trashy talk show almost identical to Laura Bozzo’s (the only talk show host in the history of TV to broadcast while under house arrest) “Laura”, cumbia and all. What was even more shocking is that Laura (Leon) has up and moved to Lima to do the show.
How does a Mexican telenovela actress conquer the Peruvian daytime talk show market? Will she know what a pollada is?
I remember thinking “Damn, I bet Laura Bozzo is pissed that La Tesorito is biting her style — in her own country!” I guess I’m a psychic (or just too in tune with the thinking of Peruvian talk show abogadas) because I was right. Throw down, ladies!
