1500 Albanian citizens who are convicted in prisons in Great Britain, the Albanian parliament gave them the opportunity to continue their sentence in Albanian prisons.
Ratification of the agreement, approved by parliament, is not binding. Convicts must submit a repatriation application to the British authorities.
“Ratification on the transfer of convicted persons to the United Kingdom is an indication of the trust that foreign authorities place in Albanian institutions. It is guaranteed that Albanian citizens serve their sentences with their families “, explained the Minister of Justice, Ulsi Manja.
On this issue in a statement for Top Channel, the Minister of Justice Ulsi Manja initially answers the question whether there are currently requests from Albanians convicted in England to serve their sentences in our country.
Yes, of course there have been demands and there are demands. “But, after the entry into force of this agreement, the way is opened for cooperation in the criminal field and with the English authorities for all the annexes provided by this agreement”, says Manja.
If an Albanian sentenced in England to 10 years in prison, how many years in prison will he suffer when he comes to Albania?
“This issue is resolved by the Albanian court. So, the decision will be recognized, as the criminal procedure has and as provided by the agreement that we just passed today in parliament. It is entirely the attribute of the court. So the recognition of the decision, the conversion of the sentence is an attribute of the court”.
While the agreement was discussed and approved in the parliament, the British ambassador to our country Alastair King-Smith met in the assembly premises, with the head of the socialist parliamentary group Taulant Balla.
