A special court in Lima has found Peru’s former president Alberto Fujimori guilty of human rights abuses, writes BBC online Tuesday.
Mr Fujimori, who denied the charges, is awaiting sentencing, but could face up to 30 years in prison.
He was convicted of responsibility for two death-squad massacres which killed 25 people in the early 1990s during Peru’s conflict with guerrillas.
He is already serving a six-year term after being found guilty in 2007 on separate charges of abuse of power.
The trial, taking place at a special-forces police base on the outskirts of the capital, Lima, is the first time a democratically elected Latin American leader has been tried in his own country for human rights abuses.
As the 15-month televised “mega trial” neared its end, the former leader on Friday told the court that the charges against him were exaggerated and were motivated by revenge.
There was no proof, he said, that he had overseen a death squad as part of a “dirty war” against suspected Maoist Shining Path guerrillas in the early 1990s, BBC adds.
