The Minister of Justice, Eduardo Arana, announced that it was approved to request Israel to extradite Eliane Karp and Avi Dan On, prosecuted for money laundering, during the press conference of the Council of Ministers.
“Thirteen supreme resolutions on active and passive extradition have been approved. And perhaps the two most important are related to the extradition of Mrs. Eliane Chantal Karp Fernenbug of Toledo and Mr. Avi Dan On. These two resolutions have been approved in the Council of Ministers with the purpose of requesting from the State of Israel the active extradition of both people because they have been requested by the Peruvian justice system,” said the minister.
This decision was made by the Permanent Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court, which evaluated the extradition request for the crime of aggravated money laundering and considered that Elian Karp had links with the Ecoteva foundation, which would have raised resources from the company Odebrecht, the which would have been used to buy an office in the Omega tower and pay the mortgages on his house.
In addition, the same court declared the process against the former first lady as suspended and she has been declared a guilty offender. In addition, they mentioned that there is a preventive detention order against her, as well as a request sent to Interpol Israel for detention for purposes of extradition.
CAN ISRAEL EXTRADITE ELIAN KARP?
The Peruvian authorities have bet all their chips on the extradition of Eliane Karp, the fugitive wife of former president Alejandro Toledo, appealing to a mechanism that Israel cannot ignore.
However, Peru and Israel do not have an extradition treaty, so the Supreme Court approved that the Peruvian State request the Middle Eastern country to hand over Karp, as proposed by the Prosecutor’s Office, appealing to the United Nations Convention. against Corruption, in force since 2005 and signed by both nations.
Peru will demonstrate to Israel that Karp committed the crime of money laundering by participating in the operations to conceal the bribes that Toledo received through the offshore company Ecoteva. With these bribes, they were able to buy expensive properties in Peruvian territory: the Punta Sal house; the office and parking lots in the Omega Tower; and the homes in Camacho and Las Casuarinas. All the properties have already been seized.
