Overview

• Judge Cristhian Chumpitaz ordered preventive detention with the purpose of extradition and directed Tony Janzen Valverde Victoriano’s transfer to the Cañete prison, citing flight risk and an Interpol red notice.
• Valverde rejected simplified extradition, telling the court he felt unsafe and had no family in Argentina, as his defense appealed and sought leniency under a claimed principle of humanity.
• Argentina now has up to 60 days to submit the formal extradition dossier under the bilateral treaty, a process expected to take weeks or months while both countries exchange evidence.
• Matías Agustín Ozorio, identified as Valverde’s close collaborator, was handed over by Peruvian authorities and flown to Buenos Aires on an Argentine Air Force aircraft, then declined to testify.
• Investigators report at least nine detainees connected to the case, with forensic teams opening seized phones and coordinating cross‑border actions with DIRANDRO, Interpol, and Argentine police.
