( CNN ) -- Chile 's Supreme Court has ruled that former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori can be extradited to Peru on five corruption and two human rights abuse charges . Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has denied all allegations , calling them politically motivated . Alberto Chaigneau , a court judge , made the announcement about the order on Chilean TV on Friday . Gabriel Zaliasnek , Fujimori 's defense attorney , later said that the `` decision of the Supreme Court should be respected and will be respected . '' It is not known when the extradition will take place . But the wheels for extradition were set in motion a couple of months ago . A Chilean prosecutor in June recommended that Fujimori be extradited to Peru to face the charges . He was then placed under house arrest in his home in the suburbs of the Chilean capital , Santiago while awaiting a Supreme Court ruling . Before moving to Chile , Fujimori had fled Peru for Japan , where he holds dual citizenship , as his decade-long presidency neared its end in 2000 . Japan refused to honor Peru 's request to return him for trial , saying its nationals should be subject to Japanese law and pointing out the two countries have no extradition treaty . He attempted to resign from the presidency by fax from Japan , but Peru 's congress refused to accept it , instead declaring him morally unfit to govern . He arrived in Chile in 2005 , in what some saw as a possible attempt to return to Peru and seek office there in 2006 . He was under house arrest for six months in Chile , but authorities lifted the restriction last year on the condition he not leave the country . Peru has alleged Fujimori ordered death-squad killings and participated in various acts of government corruption . He has denied all the allegations , calling them politically motivated .
