Two Albanians declared internationally wanted for murder have been extradited to our country. One of them is Mariglen Përgjini, accused of the murder of Martin Shtjefni on January 9, 2013. He was sentenced by the Shkodër Court of Appeal to 18 years in prison for the criminal offenses of "Deliberate murder" and "Producing and holding without permit of weapons, explosive weapons and military ammunition", committed more than once.
Also, the Mat Judicial District Court has sentenced Marigle Pergjin to 3 years and 4 months of imprisonment, for the criminal offense of "Production and sale of narcotics", a sentence which was later converted to probation.
Eraldo Memaj, a resident of Pukë, was also arrested and extradited from Greece to Albania. The Shkodër Court of Appeal has sentenced this citizen to 11 years of imprisonment, for the criminal offenses of "Deliberate murder", pending trial and "Unauthorized production and possession of weapons, explosive weapons and military ammunition". This citizen in 2013, in Pukë, for weak motives, tried to kill citizen Pashuk Vasija with a firearm. Interpol Tirana continues the exchange of information and cooperation with counterparts, with the aim of capturing and extraditing other citizens announced as wanted internationally.
How the murder of Martin Shtjefni happened
In a bar with tallava music in Lezhë, where there were 8 people, among them Mariglen Përgjini, there was an argument with Martin Shtjefni about a song that was going to be sung by the singers who were in the bar. They went outside to clarify and just when it was thought that the argument was over, Pergjin's friends invited the victim to the table.
While they were standing at the table, Mariglen Pergjini took out and held a pistol in his hand and shot once with this pistol in the direction of Martin Shtjefni, causing his immediate death.
