¿Cómo serán los siguientes días de Joran van der Sloot en la prisión en Lima?

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 07:02:35 GMT

(CNN Español) — Joran van der Sloot, una de las últimas personas que vio con vida a la estadounidense Natalee Holloway, estuvo 22 horas fuera de una prisión en Perú. Ese fue el tiempo que le tomó al vehículo del Instituto Nacional Penitenciario recorrer las carreteras que unen el penal de Challapalca, en Tacna, con el de Ancón I, en Lima, donde estará recluido hasta que las autoridades de EE.UU. lo trasladen a ese país.Probablemente Van der Sloot solo guardará en su mente los rostros de quienes lo escoltaban, pues la camioneta blanca que lo trasladaba, como suele ocurrir en estos casos en los que se aplican estrictas medidas de seguridad, no tenía ventanillas que le permitieran ver el exterior.Van der Sloot partió de Challapalca el viernes, alrededor de las 11 p.m., hora local, y llegó a Ancón I pasadas las 9 p.m. del sábado. Su salida y su llegada, confirmadas por las autoridades, fueron registradas en exclusiva por las cámaras de CNN en Español.Joran van der Sloot será entre...

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Denver metro housing market's expense is nosing back up to record levels after a year of cooling off, driven in large part by a consistent lack of inventory. The Denver Metro Association of Realtors released the May 2023 report on the 11-county region of the Front Range that makes up the Denver metro area. According to the release, the metro is still struggling to put as many homes on the market as it used to. Fort Collins flooding strands hotel guests, damages cars "While new listings rose 8.87 percent month-over-month to 5,180, the market is still down 23.94 percent from last year when it had 6,810 new listings," the report reads. "For perspective, throughout the previous 10 years, inventory this time of year tends to be in the mid-7,000s, with the height in May of 2019 of 8,796."DMAR reports buyers are moving more slowly due to the tight inventory and high interest rates, and sellers are making more concessions on prices.

While not explicitly confirming such a large-scale effort, Kyiv authorities said their forces were indeed increasing offensive operations and making gains, but suggested some of the Russian announcements were misinformation. Vladimir Rogov, an official in the Russia-backed administration of Ukraine’s partly occupied Zaporizhzhia province, said fighting resumed on its border with the eastern Donetsk province on Monday after Russian defenses beat back a Ukrainian advance the previous day.“The ene...
