Peru's jailed ex-leader, Fujimori, hospitalized after dizzy spells
Peru's former president, Alberto Fujimori, was transferred from his prison cell to a hospital on Wednesday to undergo neurological tests after feeling dizzy and briefly losing the strength in his legs, his doctor said.
Fujimori, 77, serving a 25-year sentence for human rights abuse and corruption during his 1990-2000 presidency, will likely spend the night in the hospital, said Alexandro Aguinaga, who was once Fujimori's health minister.
. . .
Fujimori's daughter, 40-year-old Keiko Fujimori, is the front-runner by a wide margin in this year's presidential race, although she is not expected to win outright in the first-round vote on April 10.
Recent opinion polls show she will likely face Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a former World Bank economist, in a possible runoff election, where she is seen losing narrowly.
