According to sources close to the Special Prosecution Office, SPAK asked the Ministry of Justice to send the official extradition request to French law enforcement authorities.

The request was accompanied by the Special Court’s decision ordering Beqiri to be remanded in custody. The businessman is suspected of committing seven criminal offenses.

Ermal Beqiri was arrested in France after he was caught flying a private plane over a nuclear power plant in Normandy at an altitude below the permitted limit.

Following his arrest, SPAK released details of the international operation that led to him being located and detained.

According to SPAK, cooperation was requested from the French authorities on June 19, 2026, amid suspicions that Beqiri was in French territory.

The Special Prosecution Office’s investigation identified assets worth millions of euros, including bank accounts holding more than €2 million, two apartments, and the purchase of a castle in France’s Oise department worth around €2.6 million. SPAK has asked the French authorities to seize these assets.

The case against Beqiri is also linked to the investigation into the activities of “Soft & Solution,” an electronic money financial institution whose license was revoked by the Bank of Albania in April this year. The decision came after SPAK issued an arrest warrant for the company’s shareholder on suspicion of participating in a structured criminal group.

Beqiri is also suspected of having benefited from a tender worth more than €1.1 million after his right-hand man, Ergys Agasi, allegedly threatened a company participating in the bidding process.

As part of the investigation into AKSHI, SPAK also identified a luxury yacht believed to be owned by the businessman, a Predator 50 Skyfall with a market value of around €1 million.

The yacht was registered in the name of Xhenila Tamizi, an employee of “Soft & Solution,” but prosecutors suspect that it was purchased by Beqiri himself.
