Van de Sloot, together with a friend Eva Pacohuanaco and accomplices, is said to have smuggled almost 300 grams of cocaine and 140 grams of marijuana into the prison in Juliaca.
Pacohuanaco delivered food to the prisoner, including nineteen beets, in August. The drugs turned out to be in those vegetables. Pacohuanaco says he did not know this, but prosecutors are also demanding 18 years against her for drug trafficking. Van der Sloot himself recently said that he was ‘tricked’ by a fellow inmate.

The punishment is further demanded in the case against three fellow prisoners of Van der Sloot. And Pacohuanaco’s brother has been demanded for 14 years for his role in the smuggling case.
Disappearance Natalee Holloway
Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year prison sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old Peruvian Stephany Flores Ramírez. He was convicted in Lima in 2012. He may soon be able to apply for parole. If he behaved well, he could qualify. A new conviction would make that impossible. If he does get the new sentence, it would mean he is 70 years old when released.
The Dutchman was previously suspected of involvement in the disappearance of 18-year-old American Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. He is also suspected in the United States of extortion of Holloway’s mother. He would tell where the body was in exchange for a large sum of money.

Why is Joran van der Sloot detained?
Joran van der Sloot became widely known in 2005 for his alleged involvement in the disappearance of the American Natalee Holloway in Aruba. The student was never found and the evidence to convict Van der Sloot was insufficient. Van der Sloot was convicted on January 13, 2012 in Peru.
He was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the murder of Peruvian student Stephany Flores on May 30, 2010. The Dutchman may also be convicted in the US, because that country has asked for his extradition because Van der Sloot blackmailed Natalee Holloway’s parents. For $ 100,000, he would declare their daughter’s location. Part of the money was transferred, but Van der Sloot never provided information.
In Peru he was transferred several times to other prisons. He married a Peruvian woman in captivity and had a daughter with her.
