Ex-Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori, has pleaded guilty to bribery and illegal phone-tapping of journalists, businessmen and opposition politicians.
Fujimori, who is already serving prison sentences for crimes including ordering killings by security forces, was in court for a fourth and final trial.
The charges relate to a scandal which brought down his government in 2000. He is due to be sentenced on Wednesday.
His lawyers said the case was intended to damage his daughter's election bid.
Polls suggest Keiko Fujimori is among the leading candidates in presidential elections due in 2011.
She has said she would pardon her father if elected.
'Judicial persecution'
Fujimori, who led Peru from 1990 to 2000, returned from exile in late 2007 to face a number of charges.
In April this year, he was sentenced to 25 years in jail for ordering killings and kidnappings by the security forces.
He was sentenced to a further seven-and-a-half years for embezzlement in July after being convicted by Peru's Supreme Court of giving $15m (£9.3m) in state funds to his spy chief Vladimiro Montesinos. read more
