A 37-year-old woman from Romania has been arrested after allegedly obtaining around 33,500 euros by defrauding through fictitious emails.
She was wanted internationally because the Tirana Judicial District Court, in 2022, sentenced her to 5 years in prison for the criminal offense of "Computer Fraud".

" The Romanian citizen, who benefited from around 33,500 euros by deceiving representatives of an Albanian company through fictitious e-mails, is being extradited from Germany. "
"Following the cooperation with international partners, with the objective of locating, capturing and extraditing citizens declared internationally wanted, the procedure for the extradition from Germany to Albania of the Romanian citizen, Aurelia Bratianu, 37 years old, was finalized ," the police statement said.
The unraveling of this computer fraud scheme was accomplished with the cooperation of the Albanian Police and the United Kingdom authorities.
