The authorities in Croatia announced that they had captured and extradited a 55-year-old Albanian citizen, accused by the Specialized Court for Corruption and Organized Crime of Albania (GJKKO) of participating in an organized crime group and committing excise fraud worth a total of 366,000,000 Albanian lek (3.8 million euros), ATA reported, BTA reported.
According to Albanian authorities, the man was put on international wanted list in March after the Specialized Court imposed a preventive measure of “detention in custody“ due to evidence that he participated in an “organized criminal group for smuggling excise goods, which caused damage to the country in particularly large amounts“.
The extradited Albanian citizen has been handed over to the relevant Albanian authorities for the implementation of the measure imposed on him, ATA notes.
