The Peruvian Congress, however, passed a resolution banning him from holding
public office until February 2011.
Peruvian authorities have sought Fujimori's extradition for five years, but
the Japanese government said he cannot be extradited because he has been granted
Japanese citizenship. Fujimori is the son of Japanese immigrants to Peru.
Chilean officials appeared surprised by Fujimori's arrival at a time of
tension with Peru over sea boundaries. Legislation passed Thursday by Peru could
lead to it claiming Pacific waters now under Chilean control. The area is rich
in fishing resources.
