他的律师周一告诉ABC新闻，2005年美国少年娜塔莉·霍洛韦失踪悬案的主要嫌疑人乔兰·范德斯鲁特在秘鲁监狱遭到毒打。
范德斯鲁特正等待被引渡到美国。关于敲诈和电信诈骗的指控源于他试图从与霍洛韦案件的联系中获利的指控。
这名荷兰公民因2010年谋杀21岁的大学生朱舒·弗洛里斯而在秘鲁服刑28年。
范德斯鲁特的秘鲁律师马克西莫·阿尔特兹(Maximo Altez)说，他不认为殴打与即将到来的引渡有关。然而，这可能与他被关押的Challapalca监狱的帮派规则有关，Altez说。
阿尔泰兹说，范德斯鲁特目前正在监狱的医疗通道，并补充说他正在要求秘鲁司法部尽快将他转移到另一所监狱。
18岁的霍洛韦于2005年5月失踪当时她正和阿拉巴马州的高中同学去阿鲁巴岛参加毕业旅行。有人最后一次看到她和一群年轻人一起开车离开，其中包括当时17岁的范德斯鲁特。
范德斯鲁特被认定为嫌疑人并被拘留，但最终被释放，他于2010年被阿拉巴马州联邦大陪审团起诉，涉嫌试图勒索霍洛韦的家人。
联邦检察官称，2010年3月，范德斯鲁特通过她的律师联系了霍洛韦的母亲贝丝·霍洛韦，并声称他会透露这名少年的尸体的位置，以换取25万美元，其中2.5万美元已预付。根据检察官的说法，在一次录音的诱捕行动中，贝丝·霍洛韦的律师约翰·q·凯利(John Q. Kelly)在阿鲁巴的一家酒店会见了范德斯鲁特，给了他1万美元现金，贝丝·霍洛韦向范德斯鲁特的银行账户汇了1.5万美元。

检察官说，然后范德斯鲁特据称改变了他与娜塔莉·霍洛韦在一起的那个晚上的故事。范德斯鲁特声称他抱起了她，但她要求被放下，所以他把她扔到了地上。据检察官说，他说她的头撞上了一块石头，她当场死亡。
检察官说，范德斯鲁特随后把凯利带到一所房子里，声称他的父亲(后来去世了)把娜塔莉·霍洛韦的尸体埋在了大楼的地基里。
据检察官称，凯利后来给范德斯鲁特发了电子邮件，称他提供的信息“毫无价值”。几天后，范德斯鲁特离开阿鲁巴前往秘鲁。
本月早些时候，秘鲁政府发布行政命令，接受美国当局提出的临时引渡请求。引渡日期尚未确定。
Natalee Holloway suspect beaten in Peruvian prison: Lawyer
Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the unsolved 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway, has been severely beaten in Peruvian prison, his lawyer told ABC News on Monday.
Van der Sloot is awaiting extradition to the U.S.on extortion and wire fraud charges stemming from an accusation that he tried to profit from his connection to the Holloway case.
The Dutch citizen has been serving a 28-year sentence in Peru for the 2010 murder of 21-year-old college student Stephany Flores.
Van der Sloot's Peruvian attorney, Maximo Altez, said he doesn't believe the beating was related to the upcoming extradition. It may, however, be connected to gang rules inside of the Challapalca Prison, where he's being held, Altez said.
Van der Sloot is currently in the prison's medical aisle, Altez said, adding that he's asking the Peruvian Justice Ministry to transfer him to another prison as soon as possible.
Holloway, 18, went missing in May 2005while on a graduation trip to Aruba with her Alabama high school classmates. She was last seen driving off with a group of young men, including van der Sloot, then 17.
Van der Sloot, who was identified as a suspect and detained but ultimately released, was indicted by an Alabama federal grand jury in 2010 for allegedly trying to extort Holloway's family.
Federal prosecutors alleged that in March 2010 van der Sloot contacted Holloway's mom, Beth Holloway, through her lawyer and claimed he would reveal the location of the teen's body in exchange for $250,000, with $25,000 paid up-front. During a recorded sting operation, Beth Holloway's attorney, John Q. Kelly, met with van der Sloot in an Aruba hotel, giving him $10,000 in cash as Beth Holloway wired $15,000 to van der Sloot's bank account, according to prosecutors.
Then van der Sloot allegedly changed his story about the night he had been with Natalee Holloway, prosecutors said. Van der Sloot claimed he had picked her up but that she had demanded to be put down, so he threw her to the ground. He said her head hit a rock and she was killed instantly by the impact, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said van der Sloot then took Kelly to a house and claimed that his father, who had since died, buried Natalee Holloway's body in the building's foundation.
Kelly later emailed Van der Sloot, saying the information he had provided was "worthless," according to prosecutors. Within days, van der Sloot left Aruba for Peru.
Earlier this month the Peruvian government issued an executive order accepting a request by U.S. authorities for a temporary extradition. An extradition date has not been set.
