Peruvian authorities agreed to extradite Van der Sloot, who is serving a 28-year prison sentence for the murder of a 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores in 2010.
The government has agreed to temporarily hand over the Dutch citizen to American authorities "for his prosecution in the United States for the alleged commission of the crimes of extortion and fraud, to the grievance of Elizabeth Ann Holloway," Peru Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Daniel Maurate Romero, said in a statement.
