Facing serious charges in Argentina Saturday, August 27, 2016 Servini seeks to block Corradi extraditionFederal Judge María Servini de Cubría moved yesterday to block a request by her colleague Judge Sandra Arroyo accepting the extradition of Ibar Pérez Corradi to the United States, arguing that there was no urgency to send the suspected mastermind of the General Rodríguez triple murder to Washington. On Wednesday, Arroyo Salgado ordered once again that financier Pérez Corradi be sent to the United States to satisfy an extradition request. In a resolution made public yesterday, Servini de Cubría argued that “US judicial authorities have not insisted on, nor requested, the urgent extradition of Pérez Corradi” that Arroyo Salgado has greenlighted. After initially refusing to trade a Paraguayan prison cell for another in Argentina, Pérez Corradi has agreed to a swift extradition process that included his entry into a protection programme. Pérez Corradi has been accused of ordering the murders.
