The prime suspect in the case of Natalee Holloway could delay beingor months if he deploys a habeas corpus petition.
Joran van der Sloot, who is facing charges in connection with the 2005 disappearance, could remain in a Peruvian prison until at least August if he challenges his detention.
Van der Sloot is currently in prison in Peru for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores and is awaiting his extradition to the US to face extortion charges related to Holloway's case.
Peru has agreed to temporarily send van der Sloot to the US to face trial, but how speedily things move along will depend on whether he deploys a habeas corpus petition.
A habeas corpus petition is a legal action through which an individual can challenge their detention or imprisonment.
Col.
Carlos López Aeda, the chief of Interpol in Lima, Peru, has described van der Sloot, who is a Dutch citizen as having 'psychopathic traits', a 'murderous attitude' and of being an 'unruly person'.

If filing a petition, it would see a court to review the legality of his confinement and consider whether there are grounds for his release.
The petition typically argues that the individual's constitutional rights have been violated, they are being unlawfully detained, or there is a lack of sufficient evidence to justify their imprisonment.
More than a decade ago, Van der Sloot told a Peruvian judge that he would fight efforts to be extradited to the U.S.
'Taking this background into consideration, we as policemen could presume that he could also have killed [Natalee Holloway],' the colonel said to 'That is not ruled out in any way because of the way he acts, those psychopathic traits, that murderous attitude.
'We assume that the U.S.
authorities will have enough evidence about his crimes, and if they find him guilty and he is sentenced after he has served here in Peru, he will be transferred so that he can also be sentenced in the United States,' López Aeda explained.

How long it takes for Van der Sloot to be extradited will depend on a number of factors including arranging transportation to fly him to the States and an agreement from the U.S that he will be returned to Peru to complete his sentence there.
A 2001 treaty between Peru and the U.S.
allows a suspect to be temporarily extradited to face trial in the other country.

The governor of Alabama praised the extradition decision and commended the persistance of Beth Holloway.

authorities agreed to return the suspect to the custody of Peru afterward.
The extradition request indicated 'that an additional delay in the prosecution of the case that is being pursued in the United States of America could significantly reduce the possibility of conviction, that the ages and health conditions of the key witnesses in the case would make the prosecution would be extremely difficult if it is not carried out soon,' according to a March order from Peru's top court.
