Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has admitted paying $15 million his former security chief Vladimiro Montesinos (his declassified record) just a few hours before the adviser fled to Panama.Fujimori said he did give Montesinos the funds, but claimed that he did not commit a crime because he paid back the money to the state.
Prosecutor Avelino Guillén, who accused Fujimori of embezzlement and forgery, is seeking an eight-year sentence and $666,000 dollars in reparations to the state.
Fujimori said "I only accept the deeds; I accept neither the legal responsibility, nor the punishment nor the civil reparations."
