Deposed Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori said Saturday he is prepared to testify in Japan to answer allegations that he amassed secret funds during his tenure as Peru's leader.

He reiterated his refusal, however, to return home to give testimony.

"I will willingly provide information while in Japan," he told a press conference at a park in Tokyo near the home of Japanese novelist Ayako Sono, with whom he is currently staying.
