Overview
- The Fiscalía announced July 11 that it obtained an expanded extradition for Erick Moreno, alias 'El Monstruo', so he will remain in Peru to face new criminal cases.
- Prosecutors say the added charges include organized crime, attempted homicide, grievous injuries followed by death, and extortion tied to incidents in Ancón, Independencia and Puente Piedra.
- The cases to be incorporated cover a 2024 attack on a driver in Ancón, weekly S/40 'cupos' extorted from informal drivers, a S/60,000 demand to a transport company and the early‑2025 killing of a driver.
- Officials say the expansion rests on evidence gathered by Lima Norte investigators and on the Peru–Paraguay extradition treaty, a step the Supreme Court has authorized to request Paraguay’s cooperation.
- The move follows a separate 35‑year conviction for Moreno two weeks earlier and lets Peruvian courts consolidate overlapping cases so victims of extortion and violence can seek justice more quickly.
