DJ Peru's Ex-Spy Chief Kept Secret Escape Hatch Under Tub 11/28/0 14:55 (New York) LIMA (AP)--For a glimpse into the shadowy world of fugitive ex-spy chief Vladimiro Montesinos, one need go no further than the secret tunnel leading to an escape hatch under the his pink bathtub. Peru's Panamericana Television rebroadcast images Tuesday of the spymaster's luxury beach house hidden behind high windowless walls topped with protective electrified wires in a resort town just south of Lima. The home, raided earlier this month by police searching for the ex-intelligence adviser, was amply equipped with escape routes. Montesinos, who has been in hiding since his return last month from a failed asylum bid in Panama, installed a pink bathtub that when lifted reveals a tunnel leading to a secret hatch under a plant bed located in the garage of a neighboring house. Another secret hatch leading into the underground tunnel was discovered near the indoor pool. Former President Alberto Fujimori personally led a spectacular - albeit fruitless, and many say "staged" - manhunt for his once-closest aide. That was before his 10-year authoritarian rule crumbled under the weight of Montesinos' reputed web of corruption. Congress ousted Fujimori from office last week, declaring him morally unfit for the presidency and ignoring the resignation he offered from self-imposed exile in Japan.
