Peru Orders 9 Months’ Preventive Detention for ‘Pequeño J’ to Enable Extradition to Argentina

The ruling places Tony Valverde in INPE custody in Cañete to allow Argentina to submit an extradition request.

Overview

  • A preparatory court in Chilca ordered preventive detention with the explicit purpose of passive extradition for Tony Jansen Valverde Victoriano, known as ‘Pequeño J’.
  • Valverde is accused as the alleged intellectual author of the killings of Morena Verri, Brenda del Castillo, and Lara Gutiérrez in La Matanza, Buenos Aires.
  • Judge Christian Rafael Chumpitaz Pariona directed his internment at the Cañete penitentiary under INPE custody while Argentina files the required documentation through diplomatic channels.
  • The court cited an Interpol red notice match and flight risk tied to potential penalties of 15 to 35 years, rejecting defense claims of arraigo and a request to remain free during proceedings.
  • Peruvian authorities expelled Argentine citizen Matías Agustín Ozorio and handed him to Argentine police to face charges related to the same case.
