Failed extraditions, Albania is being rejected in its demands

The rejection of Albania's request for the extradition of Angel Brahim, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a policeman and his 8-year-old son 20 years ago, is not the first rejection of our country. The Canadian high court rejected Albania's claims since the identification of Brahim two decades ago that was made by the widow of the officer Astrit Braçe consisted of 4 photos, but those photos could not be found by the Albanian authorities.

The same story of rejection happened with one of the main characters of the Durrës gang. Plaurent Dervishajt was released from the cell where he was held in Dubai at the end of 2020, when he was declared wanted for the collaboration in the murder of Vajdin Lamaj and Klodian Saliu. Dervishaj was detained in the United Emirates, after being declared an international wanted man along with Lulzim Berisha, who remains on the run. 

For "Lenti", as the acquaintances call him, although according to the Albanian authorities the documents were submitted, Dubai released him after the documents arrived late. Dervishaj was arrested on December 10, while Albania sent the letters after the 30-day deadline for his extradition. 

In Dubai at the beginning of the year, Dritan Shkëmbi was arrested and wanted for the assassination of prosecutor Arjan Ndoja, but this case was also forgotten. The murder of the businessman Ardian Nikulaj in Shengjin continues to remain hostage to the extradition procedures, even though the incident was clarified by the police, but the perpetrator, the perpetrator and the collaborators have not yet been extradited for the crime.

The Portuguese executioner Ruben Saraiva was arrested in Morocco, while so far nothing has been done about his behavior in Albania. In England, although it was said that the court would decide on the extradition of the client and the English collaborators this month, but November is passing and there is no news about them. Greece is another failure story when it comes to extraditions. The last one, Laert Haxhiu, was arrested in Greece while applying for political asylum in the neighboring country.

The same story with Bledar Jambelli, the orderer in the murder of Commissioner Artan Cuku. For the latter, it is suspected that he submitted documents as a Greek minority, and for this reason he was not extradited. (A2 Televizion)
