Paraguay Sets Jan. 28 Extradition of Erick Moreno as Peru Prepares Challapalca Confinement

A prosecutor-led delegation will take custody in Asunción under a tightly guarded, binational transfer plan.

Overview

  • Paraguay fixed January 28 as the handover date, a schedule confirmed by organized-crime coordinator Jorge Chávez Cotrina.
  • Police say Moreno will be taken directly to the Challapalca maximum-security prison under the country’s strictest regime upon arrival.
  • The transfer returns him to serve a finalized 32-year sentence for kidnapping, extortion and aggravated robbery.
  • Prosecutors report three additional extradition requests connected to organized crime, aggravated robbery, extortion and the kidnapping of businesswoman Jackeline Salazar.
  • The escort team comprises representatives of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, a medical examiner, the head of International Cooperation and National Police officers, with operations kept under reserve as probes continue into his cross-border extortion network.
