Alberto Fujimori, authoritarian former president of Peru, dies aged 86

Ex-leader was jailed in 2009 for corruption and human rights abuses but granted a humanitarian pardon last year

Alberto Fujimori, Peru's former strongman leader throughout the 1990s and the country's most divisive leader, has died aged 86, just 10 months after he was granted a pardon and freed from jail.

The ex-president died at the home of his daughter and political heiress Keiko Fujimori in the Peruvian capital Lima on Wednesday evening.
