SANTIAGO, Nov. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Chile's Investigative Police Force said on Wednesday that it had removed from their posts two immigration officers who were on duty when Alberto Fujimori, Peru's former president, entered Chile on Sunday.

    Jaime Mendez, head of communications for the Force, said the two officers, including a supervisor, were working at Lima international airport when Fujimori's private plane landed on Sunday. They made mistakes while processing the migration papers of Fujimori and let him in.

    Mendes said the junior official, who was arrested by the Force,"did not do his work rigorously. He did not... inform his superiors in time."

    The junior official did not have relevant information on Fujimori in his computer system when the former president arrived. However, he did not make an effort to find a computer terminal that would give him the information, nor did he take the time to make a phone call to check with other officers or inform his manager.

    The supervisor failed to check with the officer in charge of control procedures if there was any relevant information about Fujimori.

    Fujimori, who ruled Peru from 1990 to 2000, fled to Japan in November 2000, when a corruption scandal toppled his government.

    After five years in Tokyo, Fujimori flew to Chile unannounced on a private plane on Sunday as part of his bid to run for president in Peru in 2006.

    He was detained by Chilean authorities on Monday following a request from the government of Peru, where prosecutors have tried to extradite him on more than 20 charges, including the alleged kidnapping, torture and assassination of political opponents. Enditem
