LIMA: Peru's disgraced former president Alberto Fujimori will face his fourth trial since he was extradited from Chile in 2007, according to Peruvian judicial sources.

The special tribunal in charge of judging the ex-president has gathered in one trial, set to start September 28, several cases that cover wiretapping, the "purchasing" of opposition legislators, and news media manipulation.

Fujimori, 71, faces charges that include misappropriating public funds, corruption of government employees, and violation of the privacy of communications.

The prosecution is calling for eight years in prison and reparations of 1.65 million dollars, as well as one million dollars in reparations to those affected by phone tapping.

Fujimori, president 1990-2000, was sentenced in April to 25 years in prison for authorizing a secret army death squad to kill 25 people and ordering the kidnapping of a businessman and a journalist in the early 1990s.

In a separate trial ending July 20, Fujimori was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for embezzlement. And in a December 2007 trial Fujimori was found guilty of abuse of power and sentenced to six years in prison.

However under Peruvian law sentences cannot be served consecutively, meaning only the longest term is taken into account in multiple convictions -- so only the 25-year sentence will be applied, unless Fujimori wins an appeal against the death-squad conviction.

Fujimori's presidency collapsed in a whirlwind of scandal after secretly recorded videotapes of his top aide Vladimiro Montesinos bribing politicians and businessmen with piles of cash began to air on television.

The bespectacled former president, an agronomist by training, is the son of Japanese immigrants. He was arrested in November 2005 while traveling in Chile, and extradited to Peru to stand trial.

Many Peruvians credit Fujimori with crushing two leftist insurgencies that plagued the country -- the Tupac Amaru guerrillas and the Maoist Shining Path rebels -- during his iron-fisted presidency.
