Part of a structured criminal group, the 25-year-old Albanian is extradited from Colombia (NAME)

A 25-year-old Albanian man has been extradited from Colombia, as part of a structured criminal group.

25-year-old Admir Tutaj was announced as an international wanted man after the GJKKO accuses him of participating in a criminal group as well as arms trafficking.

Full Notice:

Interpol Tirana, as part of the coded police operation "Before justice", has extradited the Albanian citizen AT, 25 years old, from Colombia.

This citizen was declared an international wanted by Interpol Tirana, after the Special Court Against Organized Crime and Corruption, with the decision dated 30.07.2024, assigned the security measure "Arrest in prison", for the criminal offenses "Trafficking of weapons and ammunition", "Structured criminal group" and "Perpetration of offenses by structured criminal group and criminal organization".

In April 2023, the State Police organized an operation at the Border Crossing Point in the Port of Durrës. In a "Benz" type van, an arsenal of weapons that was hidden in a wooden table was found and seized as material evidence.

The investigation revealed that the AT citizen, in collaboration with several other citizens, had secured the arsenal of weapons and had organized their trafficking to the United Kingdom.

As a result of the cooperation between Interpol Bogota/Colombia and Interpol Tirana, it became possible to arrest him in Colombia and extradite him to Albania.
