US Embassy: Sokol Hoxha thought he could escape his past, but we found him

The US Embassy in Tirana has reacted following the arrest and extradition to Albania of Sokol Hoxha.

She reveals that his arrest in the US and extradition to Albania was made possible thanks to a unit set up at the US Embassy in Tirana.

“Sokol Hoxha thought he could escape his past. Convicted in absentia for a double murder in Albania (2000) and another murder in Belgium (2010), Hoxha spent decades evading law enforcement — using a false identity, securing legal status in another European country and, eventually, obtaining legal permanent residency in the United States under an assumed name.

This changed thanks to the hard work of the International Criminal Investigations Unit of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) at the US Embassy in Tirana.

Working with the U.S. Marshals Service, ICE, the Department of Justice, INTERPOL, and the Albanian State Police, DSS played a key role in accurately identifying Hoxha — uncovering a nearly 30-year period of concealment of his identity.

This case is a powerful reminder: The United States will not serve as a safe haven for those who abuse our immigration system to avoid accountability for violent crimes committed abroad.

"DSS is proud to stand alongside our local and international partners in this mission," the US Embassy said.
