A 31-year-old Albanian man, internationally wanted by Spanish authorities for robbery, has been arrested by the Border Police in Muriqan, while attempting to leave Albania.
Citizen AT, also known as AB and AC, 31 years old, resident of Mamurras, was arrested.
According to the Police, the arrest was made as a result of the exchange of information between the Border Police services of Muriqan and Interpol Tirana, within the framework of the controls for the capture of persons declared internationally wanted. The 31-year-old was declared wanted by Interpol Madrid, after the Court of Instruction No. 4 in Sabadell, Spain, with the decision dated November 28, 2025, had imposed the security measure "Arrest in prison" on him for the criminal offense of "Theft by force".
After being stopped at the Muriqani border crossing, the young man was handed over to the services of the Lezha Local Police Directorate, which carried out his temporary arrest with the aim of extradition to Spain. Meanwhile, Interpol Tirana, in cooperation with the Spanish authorities, is continuing legal procedures for the extradition of the 31-year-old, who is wanted by Spanish justice to face charges of robbery with violence.
