Judge Jose Luis Lecaros said foreign and Peruvian bank accounts declared by Fujimori, who denies any wrongdoing, contain "hundreds of millions of soles," far more than the former president could have earned during his time in government or via the property he owns.
Local media reports said that a yearlong investigation had determined that Fujimori mishandled 919 million soles, or about $270 million, of public money during his 10 years in office.
