Joran Van Der Sloot,

Joran Van der Sloot has filed a $10 million lawsuit claiming his rights were violated when he was nabbed in Chile and hauled to jail in Peru, according to El Comercio.

The 24-year-old, who was charged in September with the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel, names several people in his suit, including the former Peruvian President Alan Garcia, Chile’s former interior minister and several police generals, the Peru newspaper reported.

Garcia is accused of using “pressure” to force the Chilean government to extradite Van der Sloot, according to the lawsuit.

Van der Sloot also contends Chilean officials denied him the right to contact his family while in custody and that he was not provided a defense attorney.

It is unclear why Flores’ dad, Ricardo, is named in the suit.
