Despite the serious allegations against him, former President Alberto Fujimori's death prompted a state funeral in Peru, reflecting a divided public opinion about his controversial legacy.
Fujimori's supporters argue he played a crucial role in stabilizing Peru's economy and combating terrorism in the 1990s, leading to significant economic improvements during his tenure.
The government's decision to declare three days of national mourning and fly flags at half-staff demonstrates the ongoing complexity of Fujimori's legacy, blending acknowledgment of his achievements with recognition of his human rights violations.
Fujimori's pardoning last December, which allowed him to leave prison for his human rights abuses and corruption convictions, continues to fuel debates about justice and political accountability in Peru.
