|  | |  | | The first trial against Fujimori began on 10 December 2007 before a special court in Lima. It dragged on due to the accused's ill health from hypertension, cancer and other problems. It was the longest and costliest legal case in the country's history and was seen as a legal landmark, since it was the first time an elected Latin American head of state has faced trial in his own country for human rights violations. |  | |  |  |  | | nationality : | | | Peru |  | | date of birth : | | | 28.07.1938 |  | | last time seen : | | | Peru |  | | period of charges : | | | 28.07.1990 - 05.09.2001 |  | | judgement period : | | | 10.12.2007 - 03.12.2010 |  | | charges : | | | Crimes against humanity Forced disappearances |  | | profile last modified : | | | 25.01.2010 |
