Prosecutors in the U.S. allege Van der Sloot accepted $25,000 in cash from the Mountain Brook, Alabama teen’s family in exchange for a promise to lead them to her body in early 2010, just before he went to Peru.
The slaying occurred five years to the day after Holloway disappeared during a high school graduation trip to Aruba, where Van der Sloot lived. She was last seen leaving a bar with him.
A 2001 treaty between Peru and the U.S. allows a suspected to be temporarily extradited to face trial in the other country. It requires that the prisoner “be returned” after judicial proceedings are concluded “against that person, in accordance with conditions to be determined by” both countries.
