Albanian sentenced to 22 years in prison for murdering two brothers in Shkodra

A 44-year-old Albanian man sentenced to 22 years in prison in Albania for the murder of two brothers in Shkodra has been arrested in Greece, following a joint operation between the police authorities of the two countries. The internationally wanted man had managed to evade justice by using a false identity, while his identification was made possible through the analysis of biometric data.

The State Police announced that the arrest was carried out as part of another phase of the international operation codenamed "The Wanted", in cooperation between the Interpol Tirana Directorate, the Institute of Scientific Police and the Greek Police.

The arrested person is Zef Preldakaj, also known as Fran Preldakaj, 44 years old, who in Greece presented himself as Nikolin Pali and had also changed his date of birth.

According to the police, Preldakaj was sentenced in 2008 by the Shkodra Court to 22 years in prison for the criminal offense of "Murder in other qualifying circumstances, against two or more persons", committed in collaboration.

The incident for which he was convicted occurred in 2002, in the village of Shtoj i Vjetër in Shkodra. According to the investigation file, Preldakaj, together with two other people, had gone to the premises of two brothers with the intention of robbing them of their daily turnover.

During the confrontation that followed the attempt to take the weapon from one of the perpetrators, one of the accomplices fired a gun at the two brothers, who died at the scene.

Investigations have proven that Preldakaj had stood at the subject's door, covering and securing the actions of two other individuals. After the crime, he had left with them.

But the 44-year-old is also suspected of another serious criminal incident outside Albania. In 2020, Greek authorities accused him of the murder of two people in Corinth, a Greek citizen and a Ukrainian citizen, whose bodies were found inside a vehicle.

In addition to these charges, he has criminal records in Greece for armed robbery, violations of weapons and gambling legislation, as well as possession of narcotics.

The police explain that his accurate identification was carried out by experts from the Institute of Scientific Police, through in-depth examination of biometric data. This process enabled authorities to confirm the identity of the person who was using altered documents and generalities.

Meanwhile, Interpol Tirana continues to cooperate with its Greek counterparts to fully document his involvement in criminal activities and prepare the necessary documentation for extradition to Albania.
