From Dubai to Albania, 30-year-old wanted for domestic violence extradited

As part of the police operation codenamed “The Wanted,” an Albanian national wanted internationally has been brought to Albania from Dubai.

The extradited individual is B. H. A., 30, born in Kukës. The Kukës Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction had imposed the security measure of “Arrest in prison” against him.

Albanian authorities said that the 30-year-old was wanted internationally for the criminal offenses of “Illegal possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition” and “Domestic violence.”

The security measure of “Arrest in prison” was imposed on him in 2024 by the Kukës Court of First Instance of General Jurisdiction.

The extradition was made possible through information-sharing and operational coordination between specialists from the Interpol Directorate in Tirana and representatives of Interpol Abu Dhabi.

Operation “The Wanted” is continuing as part of the cooperation between Albanian authorities and their international counterparts to locate and extradite individuals wanted by Albanian justice authorities.
