LIMA, Nov. 18 (Xinhuanet) -- Peru's Supreme Court has approved nine charges for extraditing former President Alberto Fujimori from Chile, officials from the court said Friday.

    Abuse of power and embezzlement are among the charges. The court will decide next week on whether it should include another round of charges, such as kidnapping and human rights violations.

    The judges said in a statement that the charges are in line with the 1932 extradition treaty signed between Chile and Peru.

    Fujimori was arrested by Chilean police early this month after arriving from Tokyo via Mexico at a request from the Peruvian government.

    The former Peruvian president did not resist the arrest and was held in a police academy, local media reported.

    The Peruvian government made the request of arresting and extraditing Fujimori to the Chilean Foreign Ministry soon after his arrival in Chile.

    Fujimori, born in Peru to Japanese immigrants and was president from 1990 to 2000, fled Peru in November 2000 after a corruption scandal. Enditem
