Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence for corruption, was taken to a hospital in Lima on Monday due to neurological and lung problems, his family doctor told AFP. The former head of state is "under observation," said Alejandro Aguinaga after visiting Alberto Fujimori.

"He is under observation in the clinic's intermediate care unit , " where he has been admitted several times in recent years, a source in the Fujimori family told AFP. Alberto Fujimori was sentenced in 2009 to 25 years in prison for corruption and crime against humanity. In December 2017, while hospitalized, he received controversial “humanitarian” pardon from President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, but it was canceled in October 2018.
