Kidnapping
On July 27, 1992, Samuel E. Dyer Ampudia was at the Jorge Chávez International Airport on route to the United States. However, he was arrested -kidnapped- in an irregular and illegal manner by police personnel and handed over to Army Intelligence Service personnel who took him to the barracks of the Army of Peru, where they kept and held him incommunicado.

On August 3, 1992, DINCOTE issued a report in which, as specialized anti-terrorism police, they reported that the entity was not responsible for the illegal detention -kidnapping. Samuel E. Dyer was not responsible for the supposed and false "links" to terrorism that the SIE recklessly accused him of in order to justify their illegal action, and then tried to maintain the deceit with an anonymous call to the Army Intelligence Service. Despite the police report, the SIE kept him kidnapped illegally for 10 days. On August 5, 1992, Mr. Dyer managed to escape from the Army General Headquarters with the help of some young officers of the Peruvian Army, who recognized the illegality of the detention by the dictatorship and released him.

Dyer accused Vladimiro Montesinos, the former adviser to the president, for kidnapping and other crimes to the Courts and Judicial Power of Peru, national and international press media, and international human rights organizations. He requested Alberto Fujimori's government to intervene publicly and clarify the severity of his kidnapping, but his request was not heard. On the contrary, he received new retaliations and false accusations of other alleged crimes that later were proven to be false or unfounded by the dictatorial government of Fujimori. From 1992 to 1995, he and his family went into exile to the United States of America.

In 2009 and 2016, democracy and the rule of law in Peru was restored, both former president Fujimori and his adviser, Vladimiro Montesinos, were tried and sentenced for aggravated kidnapping, due to the serious actions taken against Samuel E. Dyer and the journalist Gustavo Gorriti.[5] During the Fujimori and Vladimiro Montesinos trials, kidnapping was considered a Crime of State, against humanity, and aggravated kidnapping. To learn more about this fact, you can refer to the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where the case is detailed.
