The information turned out to be false.<\/p>\n<p>Van der Sloot is currently in a Peruvian prison for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores. An additional 18 years was added to his sentence this January for trafficking cocaine while in prison.<\/p>\n<h3>Extradition Blocked?<\/h3>\n<p>On Monday, Van der Sloot\u2019s attorney, Maximo Altez, filed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-zero-in-on-jacksons-defense-of-guantanamo-bay-terrorists\/\" title=\"Republicans Zero In On Jackson\u2019s Defense Of Guantanamo Bay Terrorists\">habeas corpus petition<\/a> in an attempt to block his client\u2019s temporary transfer from Peru to the U.S. The petition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/06\/06\/us\/natalee-holloway-joran-transfer-petition\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">viewed by CNN<\/a>, argues that Van der Sloot should not be transferred because he had not been officially notified.<\/p>\n<p>CNN noted that Altez previously told the outlet\u2019s Spanish-language site on May 30 that his client had agreed to the transfer and written him a letter saying, \u201cI want to go to the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Extortion Scheme<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of March 2010, two months before he murdered Flores, Van der Sloot allegedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/suspect-in-natalee-holloway-disappearance-being-extradited-to-the-united-states-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contacted<\/a> a legal representative of Holloway\u2019s mother Beth. Van der Sloot said he would tell Beth where her daughter\u2019s body was and what led to her death if she paid him $25,000 up front and an additional $225,000 later. The legal representative, John Q. Kelly, went to Aruba to meet with Van der Sloot and gave him $100, after which Kelly reported the encounter to the FBI. A sting operation was set up to catch Van der Sloot, who accepted a $15,000 wire transfer to his bank account and a cash payment of $10,000, all of which was recorded by undercover investigators.<\/p>\n<p>In exchange for the money, Van der Sloot told Kelly that his father \u2013 a judge \u2013 buried Holloway\u2019s body in the foundation of a house. When authorities checked his story, they learned the house hadn\u2019t even been built when Holloway disappeared. Van der Sloot eventually emailed Kelly to admit that he lied.<\/p>\n<h3>No Justice for Natalee Holloway<\/h3>\n<p>Holloway\u2019s body has never been found. Van der Sloot was the last person to see her alive, but neither he nor anyone else has been charged in connection to her disappearance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Van der Sloot is fighting extradition to the U.S. to face charges of extortion and wire fraud.<\/li>\n<li>He is currently serving time in a Peruvian prison for the murder of Stephany Flores.<\/li>\n<li>Van der Sloot previously attempted to extort money from Natalee Holloway&#8217;s mother by offering to tell her where her daughter&#8217;s body was.<\/li>\n<li>Van der Sloot&#8217;s extradition to the U.S. was announced in 2014 and is set to take place in 2023.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1685885459858000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0AFvCLn4CIt7S8nPLjhrIg\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite Van der Sloot&#8217;s involvement in the extortion scheme and his murder conviction, justice has yet to be served for Natalee Holloway and her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joran Van der Sloot, a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, is resisting extradition to the U.S. He faces federal charges of extortion and wire fraud and is expected to be extradited this week.
