Peruvian police handed over a convicted Dutch murderer to FBI agents on Thursday for transfer to the U.S., where he faces extortion and fraud charges related to the murder of an Alabama teenager two decades ago.
Joran Van der Sloot, a Dutch national from the Caribbean island of Aruba, has departed for the U.S. from a Peruvian Air Force base.
Television footage showed the Dutchman being escorted by armed police from a Lima prison where he has been serving a 28-year sentence for murder in a separate case. His extradition was approved in May by Peru's Council of Ministers. He was previously arrested in the U.S. for her disappearance, but was not charged. Holloway's remains have never been found, though an Alabama judge declared her legally deceased in 2012, without settling the case. The young student was last seen in Aruba with Van der Sloot and another man.Van der Sloot, 35, is accused of extortion and fraud for offering Holloway's family false information about the whereabouts of the teenager, according to U.S. authorities.
