Peru Orders Nine Months’ Preventive Detention for ‘Pequeño J’ to Pursue Extradition in Buenos Aires Triple Femicide Case

The ruling cites flight risk, triggering a treaty-based extradition process following the suspect’s refusal of a simplified surrender.

Overview

  • Defense counsel appealed the decision and stated the strategy is to slow the transfer due to media exposure and perceived risks in Argentina.
  • He was moved under INPE custody to the Cañete prison, where he will remain during the passive extradition proceedings.
  • Peruvian authorities set the case on the diplomatic track, with Argentina expected to file the formal extradition request within roughly 60 days.
  • Buenos Aires officials said the handover could occur sooner depending on coordination, with the provincial security minister estimating about 10 days.
  • Investigators report at least nine detainees linked to the case, including Matías Ozorio already sent back to Argentina, as teams analyze seized phones and coordinate via Interpol.
