Overview
- Judge Clara Ruiz Díaz granted Peru’s request covering kidnapping and organized crime, with courts, police and Interpol notified to coordinate the transfer through diplomatic channels.
- Moreno’s defense has five days to appeal; any challenge would be reviewed by the Prosecutor General’s Office before reaching an appellate court.
- Under the principle of specialty, Peru may prosecute only the offenses authorized in the ruling, and any re-extradition would require Paraguay’s consent.
- Moreno was arrested on September 25 in San Lorenzo and remains in maximum-security detention at the Martín Mendoza prison in Emboscada pending transfer.
- Separate Peruvian petitions for extortion and aggravated robbery are still under review and could add months to the timeline, while his mother has been moved to Lima’s Chorrillos prison under a court order.
