An Interpol official in Peru denied that the Dutch government tried to prevent Joran van der Sloot from being extradited to face federal fraud charges in the US.
A high-ranking Peruvian law enforcement official denied that Dutch authorities tried to scupper plans to extradite convicted murderer and alleged serial killer Joran van der Sloot to the US to face federal charges this week.
“The Dutch authorities have collaborated with us, that’s why they made an emergency passport,” said Col. Carlos Lopez Aeda, head of Interpol in Peru, in an interview Friday withto the US on Thursday to face wire fraud and extortion charges in Alabama related to the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway.She was last seen leaving a bar with Van der Sloot, who has not been charged with her death, although he is considered a prime suspect.
“Everyone who leaves or enters has to follow the rules and procedures established by the immigration authorities,” López Aeda told the outlet. “The Embassy of the Netherlands did not interpose any obstacle or advise the defense at all, they only limited themselves to providing him with the passport that he rejected, because he did not want to sign anything.”

The Interpol official’s remarks seem to contradict claims by van der Sloot’s Lima-based defense attorney who said publicly that Dutch embassy officials had been interfering in a bid to halt or delay the extradition and urged the 35-year-old to fight extradition in a prison visit before he was placed in temporary U.S. custody.TheImageDirect.comHe is being held without bail while he awaits trial.
