TIRANA, April 5 – Albanian Interpol said Thursday that Defrim Riza Baxhellari, 45, resident in Tirana, was extradited from Italy. In 2004 the Tirana military court had sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment for stealing armament, ammuntiion and falsifying papers. Baxhellari worked as a tenant at a military unit in Mullet, near Tirana, where he served to supply ammunition to army units.
Beart Beqo G쳢aj, 28, was extradited to the United States after an arrest warrant issued for him since 2005 for a murder.
