Convicted of murder, kidnapping, intimidation and weapons possession, Ervis

A 41-year-old man convicted of a series of serious crimes has been arrested by Albanian authorities, as part of a coordinated operation between the State Police and the Elbasan Local Police Directorate.

Ervis Çela, a resident of Peqin, was detained in the Qeparo area, Himara, by special operative forces, after an intensive investigative and operational work. The arrest was carried out on the basis of a detention order issued by the Elbasan Prosecutor's Office, following the recognition of a criminal decision previously issued by the Italian judiciary.

Çela has been sentenced by the Italian Court to 21 years in prison, a sentence already recognized by the Elbasan Court, for the criminal offenses: "Premeditated murder", committed in collaboration, "Unlawful deprivation of liberty", "Hiding or destruction of a corpse" (remaining in the attempt), "Threat not to report", "Unauthorized possession of explosive weapons and ammunition", as well as "Acts that impede the discovery of the truth".

Of the total sentence, the 41-year-old still has 1 year, 11 months and 16 days of imprisonment left to serve.
