• Barrios Altos and La Cantuta Massacres: Fujimori is charged with responsibility for the killings of 25 people in two separate events in 1991 and 1992. The massacres were allegedly carried out by the Colina Group, a specialized squad of military intelligence officers. Former members of the Colina Group have stated that it was created as part of an antiterrorism strategy approved by Fujimori. Military intelligence documents also show that the Colina Group was a part of the official Army Intelligence structure, and that it received financial and logistical support from the Peruvian army. Fujimori subsequently approved an amnesty law that ensured Colina Group members' impunity for their abuses.

• Diverting Funds for Personal Benefit: There is extensive documentary and testimonial evidence that Fujimori established a complex system to divert public funds every month from their official purposes to special accounts in the National Intelligence Service ("Servicio de Inteligencia Nacional" or "SIN"), which were controlled by Fujimori's advisor Vladimiro Montesinos. Every month, according to several witnesses, Fujimori had hundreds of thousands of dollars of the diverted funds personally delivered to him or his family.

• Payment of US$15 million to Montesinos: Fujimori has been charged with arranging to have $15 million in state funds given to his advisor Montesinos, shortly before the collapse of his government in 2000. Fujimori signed an emergency decree authorizing the funds transfer to a Defense Sector account. A former government minister has testified that Fujimori then ordered that the funds be used to pay Montesinos. Other witnesses, as well as Montesinos himself, have testified as to Fujimori's involvement and subsequent efforts to cover up the transfer.
