	Vladimiro Montesinos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Subsequent investigations revealed Montesinos was at the centre of a vast web of illegal activities, including embezzlement, graft, and drug trafficking, for which he is currently being tried.
		Frequently, Montesinos secretly videotaped himself bribing individuals in his office, and he made thousands of such tapes(it is said the approximate number of tapes is 2700), incriminating politicians, officials and military officers and, in all probability, Fujimori himself.
		As of 2005, Montesinos is imprisoned at the Callao maximum-security prison naval base (which was built under his orders during the 1990s) and is facing sixty-three charges that range from drug trafficking to murder.

		But Montesinos is reportedly miffed with conditions in the prison, notorious for its cramped and dark one-person cells with holes in the floor for toilets.
		Pedraza said Montesinos was consuming only sugar water, although prison officials have suggested he might be spiriting food from a stash of soft drinks, candy and crackers that he brought with him to the base.
