Overview
- Karp’s habeas corpus to annul the 18‑month preventive detention and arrest orders was declared unfounded, leaving the 2017 measures intact.
- The court found the original rulings were sufficiently reasoned, citing links to alleged laundering operations and a high risk of flight due to her lack of ties in Peru.
- Karp resides in Israel, and Peru’s extradition request faces legal and diplomatic hurdles because the countries lack a treaty.
- Prosecutors have reserved proceeding to judge her because she is absent and Peruvian law does not allow a conviction in absentia.
- Alejandro Toledo, convicted in the related Ecoteva case, is serving a 13‑year, 4‑month prison sentence in Barbadillo, while Karp has said she will not return unless the measures are lifted.
