The Peruvian government on Monday said the main suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American student Natalee Holloway will be extradited this week to the United States.
The head of the Peru’s prison system, Javier Llaque, told The Associated Press that custody of Joran van der Sloot will be handed over to Interpol “first thing in the morning” Thursday, after which the Dutchman will be taken to an airport in the capital, Lima, to board an airplane to the U.S.
