still no sentence on more serious cases of corruption of the Fujimori government thievery. The purchase of the fighter MiG-29 and Sukhoi-25 to Belarus for $ 402 million. One of the main plotters, Claus Corpancho arms dealer extradited from Spain in 2009, is awaiting sentencing in his home.
Ángel Páez.
The only time in the history of Peru that Congress unanimously accused of treason, a former president Republic was the May 28, 2003, when Alberto Fujimori blamed the fraudulent acquisition of 36 fighter jets MiG-29 and Sukhoi-25 to Belarus for $ 402 million.
is the most serious case of corruption fujimorato recognized also by Fujimori himself, who, from Tokyo, accused his former aide Vladimiro Montesinos having taken a bribe succulent. On July 30, 2001, eight months of leak of Peru, Fujimori wrote on his website: "(A Montesinos) the dollar symbol was drawn on the retina and started an illegal operation parallel to ours ( ...). Nobody would have imagined that (...) this character (Montesinos) would use his acute ear first, then their unknown contacts to covertly obtain the famous commission that my government wanted to avoid. " A confession of a party relay tests.
History of treason
However, the trial for the robbery of the vaster Fujimori regime is dying in the Fourth Special Criminal Court. In addition, most of the major players is on the run or live comfortably at home.
Indeed, the three dealers who actively participated in the sale of aircraft two are fugitives, Israel Moshe Rothschild and the Peruvian Enrique Benavides, and the third, the Peruvian Kleinicke Corpancho Claus, after being extradited from Spain in 2009, now expected from the comfort of your home the outcome of the trial.
She was released on January 26, 2010. He is not alone. Victor Venero Garrido, the figurehead of Montesinos who organized Belarusian aircraft sellers also enjoy the warmth of his home since he left prison on January 20, 2009.
The Public Prosecutor's indictment states that the $ 402 million that was paid for the 38 aircraft MiG-29 and Sukhoi-25 not only are significantly overestimated the amount, because machines are second hand. But in addition, the aircraft did not meet the technical requirements for the Air Force of Peru (FAP).
FAP itself concluded that the acquisition of the ships of war posed no military advantage to the seller because the country Peru, Belarus, there was a manufacturer of equipment and, therefore, had no engines and spares. The traffickers assured the FAP that the Russian Federation guaranteed the supply of engines and related equipment, but it was not true.
It remains the most serious sentence for Fujimori government's corruption
To correct the error, Fujimori and Montesinos consummated an additional purchase of three MiG-29SE new to the Russian Federation for $ 129 million in order to gain access to the technology of the manufacturing country of aircraft sold Belarusians.
In this second operation, performed in July 1998, he again paid bribes, as evidenced by the prosecution from the testimony of one of the key participants, James Stone Cohen.
Thus, the trial being heard in the Fourth Special Criminal Court is for the two purchases of military aircraft totaling $ 531 million.
According to the Office of the Ad Hoc Case Fujimori-Montesinos, 80% of the money that he found former presidential adviser Fujimori had its origin in the bribes for military procurement, especially for the purchase of MiG- 29. Montesinos took only about U.S. $ 20 million. Everyone played their part.
dealers were directly related to Fujimori
is not true that Moshe Rothschild, Enrique Benavides and Kleinicke Corpancho Claus, the arms dealers who participated in the million dollar sale of MiG-29 and Su-25 , benefited only of very narrow links to Vladimiro Montesinos and the military leadership. As has been proven in court, arms merchants also have a direct relationship with the former president Alberto Fujimori and members of his family.
Former army chief general procurement EP (r) Hugo Rios Gonzales said in court that Fujimori called him personally on the phone to tell him to buy helicopters and other equipment to Moshe Rothschild.
The Market effective collaborator Jorge Flores, a former employee of Henry Benavides said in court that Juana Fujimori, sister of former president Alberto Fujimori, every so often presented in the offices of the company Cifsa, owned by Benavides, to receive "contributions" from the hands of traffickers.
In fact, the March 6, 1998, Juana Fujimori bought a house in Miraflores Ocean Reef Trading Company, located in the Virgin Islands, and served as cover for illicit activities Enrique Benavides.
Victor Venero said that traffickers also contributed to the campaigns of Fujimori.
