SANTIAGO, Chile - Chile's Supreme Court on Friday ruled that former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, accused of sanctioning death squad killings and misusing government funds, must be extradited to face human rights charges at home.
The ruling is final and cannot be appealed.
Justice Alberto Chaigneau said the Criminal Panel of the Supreme Court unanimously approved the extradition for two human rights charges stemming from Fujimori's 1990-2000 rule.
In addition, Chaigneau said, the five-member panel approved the extradition with a split vote for five corruption charges.
"In all, the extradition has been approved for seven of the 13 charges" filed by the Peruvian government in its extradition request, Chaigneau said.
The government had anticipated the day before that if the extradition was approved by the court, it would seek to send the 69-year-old former ruler to Peru as soon as possible. Fujimori is under house arrest at a condominium just north of Santiago.
