After Dianne's experience when Telecom accepted her son's impersonation of her husband to discuss account details, Claudia writes that she had almost the same experience. "When I called Telecom and wanted to open broadband with them, they told me my husband had to order it as the account was in his name. I repeated my call and when they asked me who was calling, I gave my husband's Christian and surname. Luckily I have a deep voice and I could order our broadband straight away without any problems. Business done!"

Jailed former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, 71, attended his daughter's wedding - in a prison chapel. Fujimori's youngest daughter, Sachi Fujimori, 30, married German-born Marc Koenig on Saturday in the chapel of the Lima prison where her father is serving a 25-year sentence for homicides and kidnappings during his 1990-2000 Administration.

The Government granted him a pass to leave his cell to attend the ceremony. The press was denied access, but reporters said a white car with the bride arrived at the prison with two buses carrying about 50 invited guests. After the ceremony, Fujimori was taken back to his cell.
