NAMES/ Killed for blood feud in Lushnja 27 years ago, 2 Albanian brothers

The two brothers from Lushnja, who were accused of murder motivated by blood feud and convicted in absentia by Albanian justice, have been arrested in Italy after 27 years of searching.

The State Police announced today (April 9) that, together with Interpol Tirana and Italian authorities, they identified through "Facial Recognition" technology two highly wanted men, Artur Mehilli, 60 years old, and Arben Mehilli, 54 years old.

Both had been using false identities for years, which enabled them to escape and hide from law enforcement until now.

Their crime occurred in 1999, in Lushnja, where they shot and killed the citizen who had killed their brother.

The brothers, sentenced to 32 years in prison, had obtained residence permits in Italy using false identities. Work is underway to extradite them from Italy as soon as possible, together with Interpol Rome.

"On 12.09.1999, in Lushnja, two citizens killed, for blood feud reasons, citizen RM, who in 1997 had killed their brother, citizen SM," the police announced.

The arrested, after committing the crime, left for Italy using passports with false generalities (citizen Artur Mehilli used the generalities Artur Davidhi, while citizen Arben Mehilli used the generalities Arben Gjermeni), through which they had obtained the necessary documents for residence in Italy.

State Police Announcement:

" As part of successive international operations, finalized as a result of the cooperation and trust of the State Police structures towards their European counterparts and partners, the Criminal Police Department at the DPSSh, in cooperation with the General Prosecutor's Office and the Fier Local Police Directorate, provided information on the location in Italy of the two brothers convicted of murder.

The information was exchanged between Interpol Tirana and Interpol Rome, with the coordination of the Interpol General Secretariat.

As a result, citizens Artur Mehilli, 60 years old, and Arben Mehilli, 54 years old, were arrested in Italy.

They were declared internationally wanted after the Lushnja Judicial District Court, in 2001, convicted them of the criminal offenses of "Premeditated Murder", committed in collaboration, and "Unlicensed Possession and Production of Weapons, Explosive Weapons and Ammunition", specifically:

-citizen Artur Mehilli, with 15 years and 6 months of imprisonment;

-citizen Arben Mehilli, with 16 years and 6 months of imprisonment.

On 12.09.1999, in Lushnja, two citizens killed, for blood feud reasons, citizen RM, who in 1997 had killed their brother, citizen SM.

The arrested, after committing the crime, left for Italy using passports with false generalities (citizen Artur Mehilli used the generalities Artur Davidhi, while citizen Arben Mehilli used the generalities Arben Gjermeni), through which they had obtained the necessary documents for residence in Italy.

Their identification was made possible as a result of intensive work, using the latest biometric identification technology "Facial Recognition", by specialists from the Interpol Directorate.

"Cooperation with Italian counterparts continues to finalize the extradition procedure of the two citizens to Albania."
