Sentenced to prison for rape in Albania, the 65-year-old is arrested in Brazil

The Federal Police of Brazil has executed an arrest warrant issued against a 65-year-old man from Albania, convicted of rape and sentenced to 26 years in prison.

The crime was committed in 2020 and the arrest warrant was issued in April 2023 in the city of Tirana. Since he was not in the country, his arrest warrant was published in July 2023.

The Federal Police, as Interpol's representative in Brazil, launched investigations to find the fugitive and then an arrest warrant was issued by Minister Cármen Lúcia. The investigations were carried out and the arrest warrant was served at the prisoner's residence, in a residential building in the Manaíra neighborhood, in João Pessoa.

The 65-year-old was sent to the Regional Supervision of the Brazilian Federal Police.
