U.S. asks Joran Van der Sloot For the crime of extortion and fraud of girl who killed and disappeared

The Dutchman Joran Van der Sloot, who two months ago was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the murder of Stephany Flores, could return to America after the Peruvian justice admitted extradition proceedings for the offense of extortion and fraud in the case of the missing American girl Nathaly Holloway.

The U.S. justice formalized extradition of Van der Sloot as a document of 22 Criminal Court in the resolution of January 30, 2012, indicating to admit the request for extradition from Van Der Sloot on charges of extortion and fraud in the case of Holloway.

As recalled in May 2005 Holloway disappeared Nathaly student Van der Sloot and his family demanded $ 25,000 to reveal where they find the corpse. But Van der Sloot did not comply and the United States formalized the request for provisional arrest for extradition to the Peruvian state.

Why hasn't the extortion trial started yet? Or is trial in absentia and speedy trial an alien concept to the U.S.?

[resigned]

Why hasn't the extortion trial started yet? Or is trial in absentia and speedy trial an alien concept to the U.S.?

Trials in absentia are exceedingly rare—most judges and attorneys will never be involved with one. The procedure doesn't jibe with the notion of due process, especially the constitutional right of the accused to confront witnesses. So, judges are careful to make sure that a defendant's absence is truly voluntary, rather than the result of foul play, ill health, or lack of notice, lest they create grounds for an appeal.



If a defendant takes off during the pretrial phase, however, he may be able to elude an in absentia conviction. In the 1993 case Crosby v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that federal law "prohibits the trial in absentia of a defendant who is not present at the beginning of trial." This despite the fact that Crosby, accused of mail fraud in Minnesota, appeared before a federal magistrate to enter a "not guilty" plea before escaping to Florida. As for a fugitive who has never been in custody, such as Osama Bin Laden, odds are slim to none that any U.S. court would permit his trial in absentia, regardless of the strength of the evidence.



Nor can globe-trotting criminals be tried in absentia by the International Criminal Court. Article 63 of the Rome Statute, which governs the ICC's operation, simply states, "The accused shall be present during the trial." Of course, it's doubtful that anyone high-profile enough to merit the ICC's attention would be afforded the chance to skip out on bail.

Attorney Flores: "Extradition Joran impossible '

Joran can not be extradited to the United States, as late as the lawyer for the Flores family, Edwar Alvarez, our editors know.

Monday popped the message in the media that the extradition of Joran van der Sloot to the U.S. would be forthcoming. This ex-lawyer of Joran, Máximo Altez, declared on the television program America Noticias.

The United States has extradition to Peru before the Dutchman asked, because he suspected the mother of Natalee Holloway have extorted. He would have demanded $ 25,000 from her. In exchange, he would tell where the body of her daughter is.

That the U.S. request was granted by the Peruvian authorities, according to Alvarez nonsense. "The Peruvian press is of mediocre quality. They repeat now that the U.S. asked for extradition of Joran and market it as if the extradition is round. In the Peruvian law states very clearly that a person is convicted, may be extradited only when his sentence was. Joran former lawyer knows clearly not what he is talking. "

Máximo Altez was dismissed last June by Joran. The current Van der Sloot's lawyer, Jose Jimenez was Monday unavailable for comment.

Joran is in Peru for 28 years in prison for the murder of Stephany Flores. He has always been associated with the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. The American disappeared in Aruba in May 2005.

Peru approves first step toward extradition of Joran van der Sloot

(CNN) -- The process to extradite Joran van der Sloot from Peru to the United States to face criminal charges has begun, according to Maximo Altez, van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney.

According to court documents obtained through Altez, a Peruvian judge has approved a U.S. request for provisional detention. This is the first step in the extradition process between Peru and the United States. The document says a formal extradition request has yet to be submitted, but will follow.

The document names the U.S. Embassy as a party in the proceedings. InSession reached out Monday for comment but did not receive a response. The Peruvian Justice Ministry also did not return a request for comment.

The only hold-up to the extradition is van der Sloot's appeal, which should be finished in about a month, Altez said.

"I think he will be extradited within the next three months," said Altez. "He will go to trial in the United States. Once he is sentenced, he will return to Peru to finish serving his 28 years, and then go back to the States to serve whatever sentence he gets there."

Peruvian judges in January sentenced the Dutchman to 28 years in prison for the murder in 2010 of Stephany Flores. He is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of American Natalee Holloway. U.S. authorities want to try van der Sloot on charges of extortion and wire fraud in the Holloway case.

In June 2010, a federal grand jury in Alabama indicted him after allegations that he tried to extort $250,000 from Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway. Van der Sloot offered to provide what turned out to be bogus information about the whereabouts of Holloway's remains in exchange for the money, according to the indictment.

He was allegedly given $25,000, which authorities say he used to travel to Peru for a poker tournament.

If found guilty of extortion, he could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Van der Sloot admitted to killing Flores, 21, in his Lima hotel room. The judges gave him a sentence two years short of the 30-year maximum. They ordered he be expelled from Peru at the end of his sentence and required him to pay about $74,500 in reparations to Flores' relatives.

Van der Sloot confessed to robbery in addition to murder, admitting that he stole Flores' belongings, including more than $300 in local currency, credit cards and the victim's van as a means to leave the country. He fled to Chile and was arrested a few days later.

Another van der Sloot attorney, Jose Luis Jimenez, said his client was under special stress the day of the 2010 murder, which marked five years after Holloway, an 18-year-old from Alabama, disappeared while vacationing on Aruba.

Van der Sloot, who was among the last people seen with Holloway, was detained twice but has not been charged in the case.

"The world had been against him for five years before this case, for a murder he said he never committed and for which there is no evidence whatsoever," Jimenez said.

Investigators have said they believe van der Sloot killed Flores after she found something related to the Holloway case on his computer while visiting him in his hotel room. The two met while van der Sloot was in town for the poker tournament.

Judges described how Flores hit van der Sloot in the face after reading the item on Holloway, leading him to hit her in the face with his elbow. Flores fainted and van der Sloot tried to strangle her, but she was still breathing, so he suffocated her with his shirt.

Van der Sloot then tried to clean the room by removing the sheets and changing his bloodied shirt, they said.

He was caught in a taxi near the Chilean central coastal city of Vina del Mar.

Holloway's body has not been found, and no one has been charged in relation to the case in Aruba.

About 6½ years after Holloway went missing in May 2005, Alabama Probate Judge Alan King signed an order declaring the teenager legally dead.

Joran Van Der Sloot Extradition Process Started For Extortion From Natalee Holloway's Mother

First Posted: 04/23/2012 7:04 pm Updated: 04/24/2012 6:39 am

UPDATE: 8: 19 p.m. -- The process to extradite Joran van der Sloot from Peru to the United States has begun, CNN reports. Documents obtained by Maximo Altez, van der Sloot's attorney, show a judge has approved the U.S. request for a provisional detention, the first step in sending him to America to face charges for extorting money from the mother of missing teen Natalee Holloway.

PREVIOUSLY:

Joran van der Sloot, the convicted killer of a young Peruvian woman and the prime suspect in the disappearance of missing American teen Natalee Holloway, could soon be extradited to the United States.

Van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez, has confirmed Peruvian authorities are evaluating a request by the U.S. to extradite the Dutchman for extorting Holloway's mother.

Altez said his client is afraid of extradition because U.S. prisons have a reputation for being "very hard" on inmates, according to the Associated Press.





Van der Sloot would probably face a five- to 10-year sentence for the alleged extortion.

The most recent developments were predicted months ago by Michael Griffith, senior partner at the International Legal Defense Counsel. In a previous interview with The Huffington Post, Griffith, whose most renowned case, involving an American incarcerated in a Turkish prison, was the basis for the film and book "Midnight Express." said he expected van der Sloot to be extradited. However, Griffith said the move would likely be a ploy so the U.S. could get him in their grips for Holloway’s alleged murder -- something that could earn him a life sentence.

"The key to that is that the U.S. has jurisdiction over anybody, anywhere in the world, who kills or injures a U.S. citizen. It kind of originated with the Leon Klinghoffer case," said Griffith.

In 1985, Klinghoffer, 69, and his wife were celebrating their 36th wedding anniversary on the cruise ship Achille Lauro. Palestinian terrorists hijacked the liner, and Klinghoffer was murdered and thrown overboard. The hijackers were later given safe passage on a flight to Tunisia, but the U.S. Air Force intercepted the plane and forced it to land in Italy, where the suspects were taken into custody.

That principle, which has been used in limited cases, is being used more often today and could be applied to the Holloway case. Van der Sloot's alleged statements, along with his previous confessions in the case, are enough for U.S. authorities to make a circumstantial murder case against him, Griffith said.

Possible U.S. Extradition for Joran van der Sloot

Joran van der Sloot could soon be in the United States where he faces federal extortion charges. That's according to Dutch media reports out today. Van der Sloot remains the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

He is accused of offering to tell Beth Holloway where her daughter's body could be found, for 25 thousand dollars. The 18 year old vanished on a high school graduation trip to Aruba.

Stephany Flores was murdered exactly five years after Natalee Holloway vanished in Aruba. Joran van der Sloot is serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of Flores in Peru. Now the question is: could he be extradited to face extortion charges here before completing his murder sentence in Peru?

The Department of Justice declined to comment on the reports of a possible extradition in the works.

Citing Joran van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney Maximo Altez, CNN is reporting that a Peruvian judge has approved a U.S. request for provisional detention, the first step in the extradition process.

Former U.S. Attorney Doug Jones tells us it's possible. A prisoner can be released to stand trial in another nation while incarcerated, but regardless of the outcome the prisoner would ultimately be sent back to complete the sentence.

"It's one of those cases that's being looked at all over the world really. So I don't think it would be too unusual, but it is out of the norm no question about that," said Doug Jones, former U.S. Attorney. "If there are extradition papers pending then I'm sure the authorities in both countries are going to carefully take a look at them."

According to Jones, the process involves some of the highest diplomatic channels in both countries and does not happen overnight.

"This is a pretty big case. It's a high profile case; you can count on the fact that it's going to get a close scrutiny from both governments," said Jones. "I think the biggest question is whether or not he is going to continue to serve that sentence, whether or not he is going to be released into US custody through diplomatic channels. That can happen. You can be released. Through writs you can have one prisoner released to another sovereign in order to stand trial, but then at the end of the day he would have to go back regardless of the outcome of the trial in the United States they would go back. The other thing is whether or not that 28 year sentence is not really a 28 year sentence and he's looking to be getting out you know at some point very soon and then there's a hold on him in which case he would be extradited to the United States," said Jones.

Our messages to Maximo Altez, Joran van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney, have not been returned.

Certainly he knew that he was commiting a crime and so he gets caught and now what, thinks that his subsequent sentence for the violent murder of Stephany Flores is all there is. The US gov't is pursuing this case not Beth although I am sure that she would very much like to see a few more years jail time for him after he serves his present sentence in Peru. Maybe now is the time for Joran to tell the truth about Natalee and just maybe the US case would go away.

After all these years and even after a murder conviction for Joran, some people just cannot get past their dislike for Beth when it has to do with the facts of the Natalee Holloway disappearance and very probable murder/manslaughter/coverup.

His sentence in Peru

The Dutchman Joran van der Sloot will meet in Peru 28 years in prison to which he was convicted of the murder of the young Stephany Flores, said yesterday the chairman of the Judiciary, César San Martín.

In Peru, Minister San Martín explained that Van der Sloot might be able to attend his trial in the US, but that he would have to return to Peru after the verdict to serve the rest of his 28-year sentence. If he were to receive a prison sentence in the US, this would have to be served after his prison term in Peru.

April 29, 2012
