Albanian top criminal possible in the Netherlands at large

The Albanian criminal Arben Frroku (photo) was sentenced to life imprisonment in his own country for the murder of a high police chief. He fled and in May 2016 - traveling under a false Greek passport - was unmasked by the Dutch Marechaussee and arrested at Schiphol.

Recently, however, the court in The Hague ruled that Frroku may not be extradited, because in Albania life is also really lifelong. This is in violation of article three of the European Convention on Human Rights. Because the only ground for holding Frroku in the Netherlands - extradition - has now disappeared, the murderer threatens to be released here, writes De Telegraaf.

Lancia
Police chief Dritran Lamaj (41) was liquidated on 24 February 2013 in the Albanian capital Tirana in his Lancia with a Kalashnikov. It was then the third murder of a policeman in eight months time. In the car (a blinded BMW) the police found traces of Arben Frroku. A short time later, he was arrested by the Greek police in Thessaloniki. After his extradition to Albania, Frroku was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder. He did not, however, end up behind the bars because he had fled.

Politicians
The Public Prosecution Service informs De Telegraaf that it will not be able to go further into the matter, because it is considering going into cassation against the decision of the court. Gerald Roethof, the Albanian's lawyer, says that a logical next step is to work on legalizing the stay of Frroku in the Netherlands. Several Dutch politicians resist the release of Frroku.
