LIMA, Peru — Former President Alberto Fujimori, who already faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison, pleaded guilty Monday to authorizing illegal wiretaps and bribes of politicians, journalists and businessmen.
Fujimori, 71 and ailing, appeared to sleep during chief prosecutor Jose Pelaez’s accusation, but stirred to say three words to the presiding judge: “Sir, I agree.” Pelaez requested an eight-year sentence, which would be served concurrently with a 25-year sentence imposed in his previous murder and kidnapping trial.
