The Supreme Court approved the active extradition request requested by the United States justice against the Peruvian citizen Jossimar Cabrera, identified as the main suspect in the murder of his wife, Sheylla Gutiérrez, an event that occurred last August in Los Angeles County, California.
The Permanent Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court made this decision after Cabrera voluntarily accepted the simplified extradition process for his delivery to the United States, also considering that the main requirements for his trial in said case were met.
In relation to the request for passive extradition presented by the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, United States, the court presided over by Supreme Judge César San Martín indicates in its resolution, to which RPP had access, that the criteria of the principle of double criminality are met with respect to the crime of murder. According to the California Penal Code, this crime carries a life sentence, the criminal action has not prescribed, and it is a crime of a common, non-political nature, that occurred within the United States.
The supreme court ordered the extradition notebook to be sent to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights through the Presidency of the Judiciary, and to be brought to the attention of the Attorney General’s Office so that the corresponding procedures can be carried out.
On August 28, the Thirty-First Preparatory Investigation Court of Lima ordered preventive detention for passive extradition purposes for nine months against Jossimar Cabrera, who surrendered to INTERPOL authorities in the Lima district of Santiago de Surco after returning to the country on August 16, accompanied by his three children, from California after the murder of his wife.
