(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...
