Peruvian politician Keiko Fujimori assured on Saturday that she has filed a request with the Constitutional Court (TC) for the release of her father, former President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), and hopes that this court will grant his release in “the coming days” will order. ” “o’clock”.
“We are waiting with great confidence, we trust that my father can finally be free in the coming days or hours,” Keiko Fujimori said after visiting the former president in prison.
A court in the Ica region on Friday declared inadmissible a resolution of the TC pardoning the former president, who will therefore remain in prison, although it ordered “that everything taken must be returned to the Constitutional Court,” for which Keiko Fujimori hopes the court will “carry out its own ruling” and release his father.
“It is true that yesterday we expected that the judge would have ordered Ica’s release, but he declared himself incompetent and sent the entire file back to the TC (…) What now corresponds is that the Constitutional Court itself recognizes its own failure execute,” said Keiko Fujimori.
In this regard, he explained that he, together with his brother Kenji and the lawyer representing them, presented a document requesting the TC to release the former president.
When asked whether the initial decision of the TC, which the Ica court found inadmissible, should have been clearer, she stated that it is not her responsibility to “give an opinion on the case” but rather to “considerate to exercise caution’.
Finally, he assured that his father is calm and waiting for the final decision of the Constitutional Court.
In his ruling on Friday, Judge Fernando Vicente Fernández Tapia, head of the First Preparatory Investigative Court of Ica, declared it inadmissible in that instance to enforce Fujimori’s release sentence.
He added in his ruling that “as a result” and “pursuant to a legal mandate” it is for the Constitutional Court “but not for the court where the habeas corpus claim originates, as the case may be, to to rule on the execution of the ratifying judgment. “which “grants the freedom of the beneficiary Alberto Fujimori, as the habeas corpus claim has been upheld in the highest constitutional authority.”
Days earlier, TC President Francisco Morales had declared that authorities should “proceed to the immediate release” of Fujimori, despite the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IDC Court) last year opposite commanded.
“We must continue to comply with the previous sentence,” Morales told Canal N Television, clarifying a TC order that called for a Justice Ministry consultation on then-President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s 2017 pardon of Fujimori granted was declared inadmissible. and which had given rise to different interpretations.
The pardon had already been annulled by the judiciary in 2018, after the Inter-American Court asked the Peruvian state to guarantee justice for the victims of the massacres in Barrios Altos and La Cantuta, the cases for which Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years . of the prison.
Hours before the Ica judge’s decision, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) expressed concern about the possibility that the TC’s resolution would lead to Fujimori’s release.
The organization recalled the cases of Barrios Altos and La Cantuta.”
