Overview

• Judge Cristhian Chumpitaz Pariona ordered preventive detention and the transfer of Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano to the Cañete prison after he rejected simplified extradition, and his defense appealed.
• The extradition will proceed as a passive request through diplomatic and judicial channels, a process that could take months under the Peru–Argentina treaty.
• Valverde was captured on September 30 in Pucusana while riding in a truck following coordinated tracking by Peruvian and Argentine authorities, including phone signal monitoring.
• In Argentina he is accused as the alleged mastermind of aggravated homicide with premeditation, cruelty, treachery, and gender violence in the killings of Brenda del Castillo, Morena Verdi, and Lara Gutiérrez.
• Investigators report at least nine arrests linked to the case, Matías Ozorio was detained and returned to Argentina, and Peruvian anti-drug chief Nilton Santos Villalta said evidence points to a broader network above the suspect.
