The cited number does not match the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (CVR).

The CVR’s final report states that Shining Path (PCP-SL) was responsible for 54% of the fatal victims reported to the CVR and estimates that the total number of fatal victims caused by Shining Path was 31,331 people. A separate statistical annex to the final report repeats the same estimate.

So attributing 12,500 deaths to Shining Path as the CVR estimate is incorrect; the CVR’s estimate is roughly 31,331.

This sentence incorrectly suggests that Fujimori’s tongue cancer only began in 2024.

But reporting from 2013 stated that Fujimori already suffered from cancer of the tongue and had undergone five surgeries for it. Reuters likewise reported in 2018 that he had a cancerous tongue lesion. In 2024, Deutsche Welle reported that doctors had detected a new malignant tumor in the tongue, where he had had a cancerous lesion for more than 27 years.

So 2024 was not the initial diagnosis of Fujimori’s tongue cancer; at most it was a later recurrence or new tumor in a long-running condition.

This casualty figure is too high.

Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission documented the Tarata attack and reported that 25 people were killed. Peru’s state news agency Andina, summarizing the event on its anniversary, also states that the bombing claimed 25 lives and injured 155 people.

Because multiple credible Peruvian sources put the death toll at 25, the statement that the bombing “killed over forty people” is incorrect.

This sentence states completed events that had not yet officially happened as of July 3, 2026.

The JNE said on July 1, 2026 that the presidential runoff had only reached the stage of decentralized proclamation of results and that the JNE Plenary still needed to sign the general proclamation. The JNE had also said that credentials for the winning presidential ticket were expected to be delivered on July 15, 2026.

Separately, AP reported on June 23, 2026 that authorities were still processing tally sheets, even though Keiko Fujimori was ahead and Roberto Sánchez was expected to lose. That means the article’s wording—saying she was elected and took office in July—goes beyond what had been officially completed by the current date.

This appears to overcount Fujimori’s children.

When Alberto Fujimori’s death was announced, the family statement was signed by four children: Keiko, Hiro, Sachie, and Kenji Fujimori. Major obituary coverage also states that he was survived by four children.

That makes the infobox claim that he had “5, including Keiko and Kenji” inconsistent with the family’s own death notice and with reliable obituary reporting.
