TIRANA, Aug 4 – Three Albanians were extradited from Athens to continue serving their prison sentences in their country, police reported.

The three persons were Petro Kuka (Vashmir Pasho), Hyqmet Myslihaka and Vladimir Malo.

Kuka, 34, had been sentenced to ten years imprisonment from the Korca district court in 2003 for attacking a group of immigrants coming back from Greece and taking their money by force. One of the immigrants was shot and seriously wounded after he had recognized one of Kuka’s three-person gang attacking them.

Myslihaka, 38, was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment from the Elbasan district court in 2002 for killing a person after a quarrel.

Malo, 34, had been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in 2002 by the Gjirokaster district court for robbing a group of persons in 1997 and killing four persons.
