Alberto Fujimori, the polarising former leader of Peru, died at 86 after a long battle with cancer, as announced by his daughter, Keiko Fujimori.
Fujimori, a former agricultural engineer, was credited for stabilising Peru's economy but faced criticism for human rights abuses and eroding democracy.
Critics highlighted his authoritarianism, including the shutdown of Congress and bribing legislators, alongside his controversial attempts to return to power.
After his extradition to Peru, Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison for human rights violations, yet was released recently on humanitarian grounds.
