Holloway family friend and George Seymore of Patriot Strategies speaks out following Joran van der Sloot's arraignment on federal extortion and fraud charges 18 years after the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway.A high-ranking law enforcement official in Peru is dismissing claims that Dutch authorities tried to hamper attempts to bring Natalee Holloway suspect and Dutch national Joran van der Sloot to the U.S. to face federal charges.
"Everyone who leaves or enters has to follow the rules and procedures established by the immigration authorities," López Aeda explained."The Embassy of the Netherlands did not interpose any obstacle or advise the defense at all, they only limited themselves to providing him with the passport that he rejected because he did not want to sign anything."
The colonel's remarks appear to directly contradict claims by van der Sloot's Lima-based defense attorney Maximo Altez, who said publicly that Dutch embassy officials had been interfering in a bid to halt or delay the extradition and urged the 35-year-old to fight extradition in a prison visit before he was placed in temporary U.S. custody.
