Overview
- Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano, known as “Pequeño J,” is set to be flown to Buenos Aires on Monday under Interpol escort, with questioning scheduled for Tuesday by Federal Judge Jorge Ernesto Rodríguez in Morón.
- Peru approved the handover through a Supreme Resolution signed by President José Enrique Jerí Oré, which set security conditions for the transfer and recognized his time in custody there.
- Prosecutors accuse him of aggravated homicide with cruelty and premeditation and as a gender-based crime, while investigators say the killings were a payback to recover stolen drugs.
- At least 11 others are charged in the case, and the Federal Chamber of San Martín recently granted falta de mérito to Joseph Freyser Cubas Zavaleta, known as “Señor J,” which paused his pretrial detention in this file but did not remove him from scrutiny.
- Investigators say the victims were lured from Ciudad Evita to a house in Florencio Varela, where they were tortured, killed, and buried, and that Valverde Victoriano fled before being captured near Pucusana, south of Lima, after joint policing and geolocation work.
