Breaking news/ "I only want money in Albania", Brazilian court
Ervin Mata

The Federal Supreme Court of Brazil has unanimously approved Albania's request for the extradition of Ervin Mata . The decision was taken by the first panel of the court, in a virtual session held from 14 to 21 August 2026.

In the 23-page decision, the Brazilian court determines that the documentation presented by the Albanian authorities meets the legal requirements for extradition.

The request relates to criminal proceedings in Albania on charges including drug trafficking, collaboration in a specific form, and participation in a structured criminal group.

The file also includes data obtained from communications on the encrypted Sky ECC application. According to the material presented to the Brazilian court, in September 2020, the user with the identifier GS4TDD, identified as Ervin Luan Mata, is suspected of communicating about the transport of a quantity of about 250 kilograms of cocaine from Brazil to Frankfurt airport in Germany.

In a communication dated September 29, 2020, the file mentions that Mata spoke about the seizure of 240 units of goods in Frankfurt. In another conversation, he states that “all my goods were seized in Frankfurt, at customs,” while also mentioning sending money through other persons.

The Brazilian document also includes communications related to Albania and the Netherlands. In one of them, Mata states: "I only want money in Albania," while in another he mentions the sum of one million in the Netherlands.

The file also includes communications with Eralbi Breçani. In an October 2020 conversation, Mata talks about “cargoes” and the possibility of securing “safe exits” for the goods.

But the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court imposes an important restriction: it has not ruled on whether Ervin Mata is guilty or not of the crimes attributed to him. The court explains that, in extradition proceedings, its control is limited and does not include a re-examination of the facts, authorship or evidence of the criminal case.

According to the decision, only a preliminary legal assessment is made to determine whether the conditions for extradition are met. The court finds that the principle of double criminality exists, that the offenses are not statute-barred, and that there is no legal obstacle to extradition.

Extradition was approved as an investigative procedure, that is, to undergo criminal proceedings in Albania and not for the execution of a final sentence.

However, Ervin Mata is not automatically handed over to Albanian authorities. The decision stipulates that the surrender depends on the discretionary decision of the President of Brazil.

In addition, Albania must formalize the guarantees provided by Brazilian law, including that Mata will not be prosecuted for a previous fact other than the one for which extradition was requested, that the time spent in detention in Brazil be credited, and that he will not be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.

The decision of the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil is unanimous and is dated August 24, 2026. The rapporteur of the case is Judge Alexandre de Moraes.

So, the Brazilian court has cleared the way for Ervin Mata's extradition to Albania, but his physical surrender still remains conditional on the procedures set out in the decision.
