Not a lawyer, but I am good at reading articles.
He's not being tried for any crime against Natalee that occurred on Aruba.
"Van der Sloot will now face charges of extortion and wire fraud in the United States after allegedly attempting to sell Beth Holloway, Natalee's mother, information regarding the location of her daughter's body".
I sure do hope he gets a touch of some Southern Hospitality before being sent back to Peru.
People in the south have a thing about them and I hope he gets a taste of that flavor.
He has a lot to account for.
It says the Peru extradited him only temporarily - to stand trial. Then he allegedly must return to Peru to serve the rest of his murder sentence in full.
US wanted the trial as the extortion and wire fraud witnesses are “elderly”.
Not sure what the point of trial in the US - how much the sentence for wire fraud if convicted? Is it after he serves in Peru?
So, it is a vacation in US for that POS
THANK YOU!!
I'm amazed at how most people don't read wtf is going on here. People are going off complaining about tax dollars, he'll have an easier prison sentence here, blah, blah, blah. They think he is being moved to a prison in the US long term, which is NOT TRUE. Frustrating.
They are bringing him here for trial for the fraud charges now, instead of waiting for his prison term to end before the fraud trial, which would push the trial back for decades.
After the trial he'll be returned to Peru to finish his jail time for the murder of the other girl he was convicted on. If he's convicted in the US, he will then be brought here after he's released from Peru to serve his time for the fraud conviction.
So he's not staying here to go to prison in the US. At least not until he serves his time in Peru.
His prison in US will be so much better than in Peru.
Bet he would love it.More rights too - which I am sure he would use with abandon.
He maybe even be out on parole
I would let him rot in Peru:convicted in 2012, given 28 years plus a later add-on for drugs.
The Holloway then could get him to stand the trial here. In 2045
How much is he going to get for extortion? Not much.
So why make it easier on him?
It is a burden on taxpayers too.
He murdered the girl in Peru and confessed as the evidence was overwhelming.
We are not even sure he actually killed Natalie; perhaps left her drugged out on the beach and she drowned?
Extortion isn’t the same as murder - if convicted - the parole is certainly not out of the question
Once his trial here is done, he goes back to Peru to finish his sentence there. After his sentence there ends, he comes back here and goes into a prison here (if convicted).

If convicted - he will stay in US for the appeals - that is the agreement with Peru
Do you know how long the appeals last?
The guy is not completely stupid - he will file them all. Bet US prisons are much more preferable than the ones he accustomed to

It sounds like Peru is also not stupid - they're passing him on to the US to house him.

The article says Federal prosecutors.................and there is no parole in the Federal prison system.
