The State Police has released footage of Sokol Hoxha’s deportation from the US to Albania. He is accused of three murders in Albania and Belgium.

Hoxha, 51, had been on the run for around 30 years. In 2000, the Fier Court sentenced him to 25 years in prison for the criminal offense of “Murder,” committed in cooperation, after he and another person shot and killed two brothers for trivial motives in Patos on March 30, 1997.

Meanwhile, in 2010, the Brussels Court sentenced him to life imprisonment for the intentional murder of an Albanian woman in Brussels, a crime committed on August 29, 1997.

According to the authorities, the victim had previously been exploited for prostitution by the convicted man.

As a result of close cooperation between the Diplomatic Security Service of the US Embassy in Tirana, the Criminal Police Department/Joint Investigation Unit, Interpol Tirana, Interpol Washington, Interpol Manchester and Interpol Brussels, the procedure for deporting to Albania the citizen arrested in Ohio on 05.05.2026 was finalized as part of the operation codenamed “Globi”:

– Sokol Hoxha, 51, born in Fier.

In 2000, this citizen was sentenced by the Fier Court to 25 years in prison for the criminal offense of “Murder,” committed in cooperation, after, on 30.03.1997, in Patos, Fier, in cooperation with citizen D. S., he shot and killed citizens H. B. and I. B. (brothers) for trivial motives.

Also, in 2010, he was sentenced by the Brussels Court in Belgium to life imprisonment for the criminal offense of “Intentional Murder,” after, on 29.08.1997, he shot and killed an Albanian woman in Brussels whom he had previously exploited for prostitution.

The deportation of citizen Sokol Hoxha this morning was the result of continued international police cooperation between investigators from the Special Police Unit of the Criminal Police Department, known as the Joint Investigative Services Unit, which works closely with the International Criminal Investigations Units DSS/OCIU at the US Embassy in Tirana, as well as with the US Marshals and ICE-ERO in the United States.

Albanian authorities have forwarded their French counterparts the documentation for the extradition of businessman Ermal Beqiri, who was arrested in France a few days ago.

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.
