The State Police announced that two Albanian brothers have been arrested in Italy with the aim of extradition to our country, after they were wanted for various criminal offenses.

"As a result of the provision of information by the Criminal Police Department of the State Police and its exchange, in real time through Interpol Tirana, with the Italian Police, 2 Albanian citizens (brothers) who were declared internationally wanted have been located and captured in Italy and arrested for the purpose of extradition to Albania," the police said.

Those arrested are:

In January 2022, the Durrës Court assigned this citizen the security measure "Arrest in prison" for the criminal offenses "Theft by force" and "Supporting the perpetrator of the crime". He is accused of having, in collaboration with several other citizens, on 07.02.2021, forcibly stolen a vehicle, a sum of money and a mobile phone, in the premises of a dairy factory. He also helped to hide citizen HH, wanted for the criminal offense "Aid for illegal border crossing";
