Overview

• Speaking to Peruvian TV from Tel Aviv, Karp said she will not travel to Lima because there is no justice and conditioned any return on lifting her preventive detention and Interpol notice.
• She asserted that offshore transfers tied to Ecoteva belonged to the late businessman Josef Maiman and cited nominee agreements, a claim that conflicts with his prior cooperation testimony.
• Karp accused prosecutors Rafael Vela and José Domingo Pérez of pressuring Maiman and promising he would keep his assets if he implicated former president Alejandro Toledo.
• Peru’s judiciary has declared Karp reo contumaz and maintains an international arrest order, and an extradition request approved in December 2024 faces obstacles because Israel generally does not extradite its nationals.
• Prosecutors are seeking 16 years and 8 months for Karp on alleged money laundering, while Toledo is serving sentences of 13 years and 4 months in the Ecoteva case and 20 years and 6 months in Interoceánica Sur.
