TIRANA, Jan. 30 – Four Albanians were extradited to Albania from Greece Sunday, police reported. Jorgo Drazho, 51, sentenced to seven years imprisonment for exploiting prostitution, Erjon Kashari, 26, wanted for murder, Leonard Porinci, 30, sentenced to imprisonment for favoring illegal border crossing, and Artimon Ahmetaj, 28, sentenced to nine years imprisonment for pedophilia were brought to Mother Teresa International Airport. Ylli Lepuri, 35, was extradited from Norway. Lepuri had been sentenced to life imprisonment for a series of crimes including murder. He was declared at large since 1997 after he had escaped from prison. Justice Ministry vice Minister Eduart Halimi said Tuesday they were expecting to extradite from Turkey and Italy Aldo Bare, Enver Dondollaku and Izet Haxhia who are being kept under arrest there. Albanian authorities have made all the required procedure for that event.
