Brazil’s federal police have arrested former Peruvian Foreign Affairs Minister Augusto Blacker Miller in Rio de Janeiro, marking a significant development in a long-running international fraud case that has spanned multiple countries. Two sources confirmed to Reuters on Friday that the arrest took place on Thursday, ending years in which Miller had remained a fugitive from justice.
Augusto Blacker Miller, who served as Peru’s foreign minister during the 1990s under the administration of former President Alberto Fujimori, had been on the run after being sentenced by a court in Albania for fraud-related charges. Following the Albanian court’s ruling, Miller became the subject of an international manhunt and was listed as wanted by Interpol, prompting cooperation among law enforcement agencies across borders.
The arrest in Rio de Janeiro highlights Brazil’s role in international law enforcement efforts and its cooperation with global institutions such as Interpol. Brazilian federal police acted on intelligence regarding Miller’s whereabouts, leading to his detention in one of the country’s largest cities. Authorities have not yet released full details about the circumstances of his arrest or the next steps in the legal process, but extradition proceedings are expected to follow.
Miller’s case has drawn renewed attention to unresolved legal issues linked to figures from the Fujimori era, a period in Peruvian politics often associated with corruption scandals, human rights controversies, and complex international cases. His arrest may reopen discussions about accountability for former officials who held high-ranking positions during that time.
Legal experts note that the outcome will depend on cooperation between Brazil, Albania, and Peru, as well as existing extradition treaties and judicial agreements. For now, Miller remains in Brazilian custody as authorities review formal requests related to his sentencing and Interpol notice.
The detention of Augusto Blacker Miller underscores the growing reach of international justice mechanisms and signals that even decades after holding public office, former officials may still face legal consequences for alleged crimes committed abroad.
