Police in Albania said they are preparing extradition after the arrest in Greece of Fran Zef Preldakaj, wanted over a 2002 double murder in Shkodra. The 44-year-old was sentenced to 22 years in prison in Albania in 2008 by the Shkodra Court for the collaborative killing of two brothers, Sejdin and Seldjan Vucaj, in the village of Shtoj i Vjeter. Investigators said Preldakaj acted as the lookout at the entrance of the property where a robbery was taking place. During the attempted robbery, one of the attackers shot the two brothers, who died at the scene, before the three men left together. Police said his criminal record did not stop there. Greek authorities also accuse him of murdering a Greek citizen and a Ukrainian citizen in 2020 in the Corinth area. Greek media reported the bodies of the two victims were found in a vehicle. Albanian police said he was arrested in an apartment in Kato Patisia in Athens following an operation by Greek special forces and police. Police reported he had been wanted for the 2020 incident for years. They also said Greek records include allegations of armed robbery, narcotics possession, weapons law violations and involvement in illegal gambling activities. Preldakaj, who was known in Greece as Nikolin Pali, was identified through biometric checks carried out by specialists from the Scientific Police Institute with Interpol Athens, after he had used a different name and changed his date of birth.
