Elbasan Prosecutor’s Office has filed the request for extradition to Turkey of Faruk Fatih Ozer, at the First Instance Court.

The Turkish justice authorities have transmitted through the Ministry of Justice the complete materials related to the request for his extradition.

He allegedly hid for almost a year in Albania until he was arrested in a resort on the country’s south coast, a few weeks ago.

Ozer was arrested by the special unit “FAST” for the capture of internationally wanted persons.

The court of Elbasan issued the security measure “arrest with prison” for Faruk Fatih Ozer, who was arrested on August 30 after being declared an international fugitive by Turkey on several counts of fraud.
