Peru President Had Fujimori As Ally

Last week Peru’s President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski scrambled to survive a bid in Congress to oust him in the wake of a graft scandal. His jailed authoritarian predecessor Alberto Fujimori called on his loyalists in Congress to save the head-of-state.
According to prison records and interviews with two of the lawmakers this week, the day before the vote and during hours of debating, Fujimori received prison visits or spoke on the phone with at least seven of the 10 lawmakers.
