A lawyer for the Dutch man suspected in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway is challenging his extradition to the U.S. on fraud charges, calling it an “abuse of authority” that violates his client’s rights.

Attorney Máximo Altez said in an interview that neither he nor Joran van der Sloot were notified of the extradition order to Alabama on charges of a fraud scheme connected to Holloway and her family.

Altez said he plans to file a writ of habeas corpus, or a court action that he said will give van der Sloot due process before his extradition, scheduled for Thursday...

Joran van der Sloot’s attorney has filed a habeas corpus petition on behalf of his client, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen, Natalee Holloway.

According to court documents obtained by CNN, the petition challenges the temporary transfer of van der Sloot from a Peru prison to the US. Lawyer Maximo Altez argued for the cessation of the transfer due to a reported lack of official notification.

The petition reportedly contradicts Altez’s previous statements made on May 3, where he indicated that van der Sloot had agreed to the transfer and was not expected to file a habeas corpus application.

Natalee Holloway case: Joran Van der Sloot will be handed over to FBI on Thursday | CNN

6/6/23

Maximo Altez, an attorney for Joran Van der Sloot, argued his transfer should be stopped as he had not been notified officially, according to court documents seen by CNN and dated June 5.

The petition seems to contradict previous statements by Altez. On May 30, he told CNN en Espanol his client had agreed to be transferred and he was not expected to submit a habeas corpus application.

[..]

“I want to go to the US,” Van der Sloot told Altez in a letter.

The Dutch citizen is currently held at the Ancón 1 prison in Peru and is expected to be handed over to US authorities later this week.

Van der Sloot was convicted in 2012 of murdering Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room and sentenced to 28 years in prison.

In the United States, he’s been indicted on federal charges of extortion and wire fraud for allegedly extorting money in 2010 from Holloway’s mother by offering bogus information about her daughter’s disappearance.

Peru initially agreed to extradite Van der Sloot to the US to face those charges only after he serves his murder sentence. But last month, the country changed course and agreed to temporarily extradite him to the US to face the extortion and wire fraud charges, after which he would be returned to Peru, the country’s judiciary said.
 
Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway, has lost his extradition appeal and will be sent to the U.S., according to the Peruvian Supreme Court.

LIMA, Peru (AP) — A Peruvian judge on Tuesday affirmed this week’s planned extradition to the U.S. of the main suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway.

The judge’s ruling came less than 24 hours after the attorney for Dutchman Joran van der Sloot filed a writ of habeas corpus in an attempt to stop the custody transfer. Magistrate Elmer Morales informed the suspect of his decision in writing.

Law enforcement authorities scheduled the extradition for Thursday.

U.S. federal agents are en route to Peru for the temporary transfer proceedings of Joran van der Sloot, two law enforcement sources familiar with the operation told CNN.

An FBI foreign transfer of custody team departed on Wednesday aboard a government plane bound for Lima, the sources said. Van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway.


Barring any last-minute legal proceedings, van der Sloot is expected to be transferred to US federal custody on Thursday in Lima, and then sent to Alabama, one of the sources said.

The development comes after legal wrangling over the extradition of van der Sloot, who is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the 2012 murder of Stephany Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room. He is currently being held at the Ancón 1 prison in Peru.

I have been keeping notes on this - so I will go ahead & post this - and shorten it up a bit! :)

Thursday, June 8th:
*Extradited to the U.S. - AL - U.S. Federal (case) - For crimes of extortion ($250K) & wire fraud against Elizabeth (Beth) Ann Holloway. *Joran Andreas Petrus Van Der Sloot (23 @ time of crime/35) being federally indicted & charged (7/30/10) with extortion & wire fraud after he allegedly tried to sell information regarding the location of Natalee's body to Beth Holloway. Van der Sloot allegedly asked for a total of $250K for the information, with $25K to be paid up front & the rest being paid when Natalee's remains were positively identified in Aruba.
Natalee Ann Holloway (18) disappeared (5/30/05) in Aruba when she failed to appear for her flight home to Alabama. Natalee was last seen leaving a bar early that morning with the young Dutchman. Her body was never found & the ensuing searches for the young woman would reap intense media scrutiny & worldwide attention. She was declared legally dead Jan. 12, 2012.
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama Southern Division Grand Jury indictment (7/30/10) charges. From 3/29/10 & continuing until on or about 5/17/10 in Jefferson County.
Link: http://media.al.com/bn/other/Van Der Sloot Indictment.pdf
Serving 28 years in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores. Has served 10 years as of 2/17/23. Van der Sloot was sentenced (1/10/23) to another 18 years for drug smuggling, New sentence means he will remain in jail until 2045. Another article says release date is June, 2038.
Federal Judge Karon Bowdre recused herself from the case on Wednesday, 5/17/23 & Judge Anna Manasco was assigned to the case. Court hearings will take place in Birmingham, Alabama in Jefferson County.
5/10/23 Update: van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee will be extradited to the United States from Peru, her family said Wednesday. Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway, announced the news in a statement. "Almost exactly eighteen years later, her perpetrator, van der Sloot, has been extradited to Birmingham to answer for his crimes," she said. Peruvian authorities agreed to extradite Van der Sloot, who is serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of a 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores in 2010. The Peruvian government has agreed to temporarily hand over the Dutch citizen to American authorities "for his prosecution in the United States for the alleged commission of the crimes of extortion and fraud, to the grievance of Elizabeth Ann Holloway," Peru Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Daniel Maurate Romero, said in a statement. The Peruvian Embassy in Washington told The Associated Press the order allows for the temporary extradition of Dutchman Joran van der Sloot to be prosecuted for alleged extortion & wire fraud, charges stemming from the Holloway case.
Authorities have not announced what type f charges Van der Sloot could face. Williams said he anticipates him to be handed over to federal authorities once he touches U.S. soil but doesn't expect him to confess to anything or make any statements. Peru's government issued an executive order Wednesday allowing the extradition to the United States of the prime suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.
5/12/23 Update: van der Sloot had his U.S. extradition approved this week without a hearing, his lawyer told Fox News Digital, adding that he believes prosecutors are eyeing additional charges. "I don’t trust the judicial system in the United States at this moment," Maximo Altez, van der Sloot’s defense attorney in the 2012 murder trial for the death of Stephany Flores, said Friday. He believes the U.S. will try to tack on homicide charges to his extortion & wire fraud case, he said. And he has not yet been able to speak with his client despite the unexpected news of his expected extradition. "We are not fighting for Joran’s innocence, we are fighting that his rights are respected," Altez said. "We are asking for due process." The government in Peru approved extradition as early as Tuesday, 5/9/23, Altez said. The arrangement would be temporary. If the bid to fight extradition fails, Altez said timing & transportation still need to be worked out with U.S. Marshals. If he faces a judge in Alabama, van der Sloot will ask the federal court for a public defender because he lacks the financial means to hire a private attorney, Altez said. After a trial in the U.S. in connection with his 2010 indictment on extortion & wire fraud charges, van der Sloot would be returned to Peru to finish his sentence for Flores' murder & a separate charge of trafficking drugs in prison. He is currently slated for release in June 2038. If convicted in the U.S., he would then be sent to a federal prison.
5/14/23 Update: Joran could stall his extradition to the U.S. for months, according to a high-ranking law enforcement official. Joran is awaiting extradition from Peru to face extortion charges in connection to Holloway's disappearance, could stall his arrival on American soil until as late as August, the official said. The extradition could happen in a matter of days or months, according to López Aeda. Part of it depends on transportation arrangements, a formal commitment from the U.S. government to agree to return van der Sloot to Peru to complete his sentence there before he goes to federal prison & whether van der Sloot files a habeas corpus petition that could significantly delay his transfer. The U.S. had 30 days from Friday, 5/12/23 to agree to Peru’s terms. Once the agreement is in place, extradition could take between a day & a week, the colonel said. But at the latest, he said, it could happen in July or August.
5/19/23 Update: Interpol officials will begin coordinating extradition plans Friday for van der Sloot according to the agency's Peruvian chief. He's being charged with extortion & wire fraud after allegedly trying to sell information regarding the whereabouts of Natalee's body to Beth Holloway. He allegedly asked for a total of $250,000 — $25,000 upfront for the information, with the rest of the money to be paid out when Natalee's remains were positively identified in Aruba, where she went missing. However, prosecutors in the U.S. allege van der Sloot lied to Beth's lawyer, John Q. Kelly, about where her daughter's remains were located. Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, said he's meeting with the FBI & officials with Peru's National Penitentiary Institute to discuss details of van der Sloot's extradition. "The United States has already promised to return Joran after the process defined there. We are going to proceed with the extradition," López Aeda said. "[Friday], I meet with the FBI & the prison police to coordinate the details of their transfers & define the extradition date."
López Aeda added that while extraditions can be done through "a commercial flight," van der Sloot's extradition will "most likely" take place on a U.S. government airplane. López Aeda's comments come after van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez, said the prime suspect in Natalee's disappearance will not appeal the extradition. Altez said van der Sloot is looking forward to fighting the wire fraud & extortion charges in the U.S., and said his client didn't reach out to the Holloway family, but was "entrapped."
5/19/23 Additional Update: As of May 29, van der Sloot will be available so that the U.S. authorities can transfer him to the United States," López Aeda said. "They have indicated that, during the first week of June, an FBI aircraft with FBI agents will come to extradite him from a Peruvian Air Force base." Col. Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru said the extradition will happen no later than June 9. He also said that van der Sloot will be transferred to a maximum security prison in Lima by May 25. Van der Sloot is currently being held at Challapalca Prison, which is almost a day's drive away from Lima. Before van der Sloot is extradited, he'll undergo several medical tests, López Aeda said. "We are going to carry out the medical procedures to certify Joran's good health, the COVID tests that even the staff who are going to transfer him have to do, those of us who are going to participate in the security convoy & guarantee that all his rights are respected so that everything is carried out in the fastest & most efficient way unless the defense presents some appeal which we highly doubt it," López Aeda said.
5/29/23 Update: van der Sloot has been “severely beaten” in a Peruvian jail, according to his lawyer. ABC News quoted the lawyer for van der Sloot, Maximo Altez, as saying that he does not believe the beating was related to his client’s expected extradition to the U.S. on extortion charges, but rather to gang rules inside the Callapalca Prison where he is currently being held. According to Altez, van der Sloot is currently in the Peruvian prison’s medical aisle. The lawyer is requesting van der Sloot be moved to another prison for his own safety.
6/2/23 Update: van der Sloot is enroute to the U.S. after the extradition process got underway Friday night in Peru. He was first transferred from the Callapalca prison to Lima, Peru. 6/4/23 Update: "In the coming days, the INPE (National Penitentiary Institute) will hand over the condemned man to Interpol Peru with the goal of handing him over to U.S. authorities from the FBI," said a statement from the INPE released Saturday. Máximo Altez, van der Sloot's lawyer, said his client was being taken by land from the Challapalca prison (happened 6/2/23) in Peru's southern Andes to the Piedras Gordas prison on the outskirts of Lima. Attorney Altez said that once the bureaucratic procedures are completed & van der Sloot is given a medical exam, his client will be transferred to the U.S. He estimated the extradition could take place on Tuesday, 6/6/23 but Peruvian officials did not confirm this day. Altez said that, according to the treaty between Peru & the U.S., van der Sloot is being extradited to the U.S. temporarily for one year to face legal proceedings & in the event of a delay, this period can be extended for another year. "At the end of this, he has to be returned to Peru," Altez said. He will spend "at most two years in the United States." Altez said his client denies being guilty of the crimes of extortion & fraud.
6/4/23 Update: The head of Peru’s prison system, Javier Llaque, told The Associated Press that custody of van der Sloot will be handed over to Interpol “first thing in the morning” on Thursday, 6/8/23 after which the Dutchman will be taken to an airport in the capital, Lima, to board an airplane to the U.S. van der Sloot arrived Saturday, 6/3/23 at a corrections facility in Lima after a long ground trip under strict security measures from a prison in the Andes. Defense attorney Máximo Altéz last month said his client explained in a letter he did not plan to challenge the extradition. 6/5/23 Update: Altéz said his client has changed his mind & plans to challenge his extradition to the US. Altéz announced the decision of van der Sloot just hours after the Peruvian government confirmed the extradition would take place Thursday. Altéz said van der Sloot reversed course following a meeting with Dutch diplomats. The attorney said van der Sloot was never notified of an open extradition process & as a result, was not able to challenge it. Less than a week ago, The embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Peruvian Foreign Ministry said it had “not received any complaint from the Netherlands regarding the case.”
6/6/23 Update: Attorney Máximo Altez said in an interview that neither he nor van der Sloot were notified of the extradition order to Alabama on charges of a fraud scheme connected to Holloway & her family. Calling it an “abuse of authority” that violates his client’s rights. Altez said he plans to file a writ of habeas corpus, or a court action that he said will give van der Sloot due process before his extradition, scheduled for Thursday, 6/8/23.
6/6/23 Additional Update: According to court documents the petition challenges the temporary transfer of van der Sloot from a Peru prison to the US. Lawyer Maximo Altez argued for the cessation of the transfer due to a reported lack of official notification. The petition reportedly contradicts Altez’s previous statements made on May 3, where he indicated that van der Sloot had agreed to the transfer & was not expected to file a habeas corpus application. Van der Sloot is currently held at the Ancón 1 prison in Peru & is expected to be handed over to US authorities later this week. van der Sloot has lost his extradition appeal & will be sent to the U.S., according to the Peruvian Supreme Court. The Superior Court in Lima, Peru, ordered Van der Sloot be handed over to FBI agents on Thursday, 6/8/23 according to a statement published on social media on Tuesday. “With this resolution, the Judge has completed procedures for the transfer (passive extradition) of Van Der Sloot, who will be prosecuted in the United States of America for the alleged crimes of extortion & fraud against Elizabeth Ann Holloway,” the statement concludes.
