(CNN) - A federal law enforcement official confirms the FBI paid Joran Van der Sloot $25,000 in an undercover investigation of a plot to extort money from Natalee Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway. The source familiar with the case said the FBI and U.S. Attorneys Office in Alabama arranged for a meeting where an undercover agent paid Van der Sloot $10,000 in cash and another $15,000 in a wire transfer for his information on the location of Holloway's body in Aruba.
Van der Sloot then was able to leave Aruba and travel to Peru. The federal official rejected a suggestion that U.S. officials were slow in moving against van der Sloot. The official said authorities were intent on learning if the body was located so they could assist Aruba officials in bringing murder charges.
