Joran van der Sloot will soon be on his way to the U.S. to face extortion and wire fraud charges after demanding Natalee Holloway’s family pay him $250,000 in exchange for the location of Holloway’s body.
Van der Sloot, who is serving a 28-year sentence in Peru for the murder of Stephany Flores, will be sent to the U.S. under a “temporary surrender” from the Peruvian government. The surrender is set to last for one year and could be extended for another in the case of any delays in the trial.
