SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - Chile arrested Peru's disgraced ex-President Alberto Fujimori on Monday after he arrived here by surprise from Japan, and Peru said it would request his extradition to try him on human rights and corruption charges.
Fujimori, who had been living in Japan as a fugitive since 2000, was arrested at the Marriott Hotel in Santiago. In a statement when he arrived on Sunday he said he had come to Chile on his way back to Peru to run for president next year.
(Incidentally, we're all wondering if this is big news in Venezuela)

From what I get from my small nonprobability sampling method (three people), the attitude in Venezuela is basically a shrug of the shoulders. He'll be in prison for six months then go free.
And then run for president.
