The victim is suspected of having first been assaulted and then struck with sharp objects.
In 2021, the Korçë Court ordered the 26-year-old held in custody on the charge of “intentional homicide” committed in collaboration with others.
He was arrested in Greece during the international operation “The Wanted,” following intelligence and operational cooperation between the Interpol Directorate and Interpol Athens. Tahiri was detained temporarily pending extradition to Albania.
The incident in Thessaloniki was reported to authorities in Korçë by the victim’s family, while investigative actions were carried out in coordination with the Greek authorities.
Interpol Tirana is continuing its communication with Interpol Athens to complete the procedures for the 26-year-old’s extradition to Albania.
