Angel Brahimi, alias Piro Kota

The Supreme Court of Quebec of Canada has decided against the extradition of an Albanian citizen, convicted in our country for the murder of a police officer and his son in 2000.

Angel Brahimi has lived for years in Montreal, under the false identity of Piro Kota, to escape Albanian justice. He has been convicted in Albania for killing police officer Astrit Braçe and his eight-year-old son, Asllan, in an ambush with firearms on August 10, 2000.

While the extradition request was before the court, Brahimi admitted that his real name is Úngjëll Brahimi.

Judge Alexandre Boucher ruled Thursday that there were problems with the evidence presented by the Canadian government's extradition request, including that there were no assurances in the extradition request that witnesses from the 2001 trial are still available.

Another problem, the judge said, involved the main witness, the police officer's widow, and the evidence she gave more than two decades ago.

During the trial, the widow identified the man who shot her husband through a set of four photos produced by the police six months after Brace's murder. The photo lineup cannot now be found, Boucher noted as he handed down his decision in the Montreal court.
