Fujimori attends daughter’s wedding in Peru prison
LIMA, Peru — Jailed former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has attended his daughter’s wedding in a prison chapel.
Fujimori’s youngest daughter, 30-year-old Sachi Fujimori, married German-born Marc Koenig on Saturday in the chapel of the Lima prison where her father is serving a 25-year sentence for homicides and kidnappings during his 1990-2000 administration.
The government granted him a pass to leave his cell to attend the ceremony.
The press was denied access, but reporters say a white car with the bride arrived at the prison along with two buses carrying about 50 invited guests. About 30 supporters of the former president celebrated outside.
After the ceremony, the 71-year-old Fujimori was taken back to his cell.
