Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A 30-year-old North Macedonian has been wanted by EU arrest warrant since 2022. He is considered a leading member of a drug mafia operating throughout Europe from Macedonia. The Linz public prosecutor's office had issued the arrest warrant for large-scale drug trafficking - demonstrably four kilograms of heroin, ten kilograms of marijuana and 1.5 kilograms of crystal meth.
The 30-year-old was arrested on January 29 at Geneva Airport in Switzerland when entering the country from Pristina. The 30-year-old had changed his name in Macedonia. However, the authorities became aware of this and adapted the wanted notice accordingly.
The arrested man was finally extradited from Switzerland to Austria at 11.00 a.m. on February 11. During his interrogation, the suspect did not confess and was transferred to Linz prison on February 12 by order of the Linz police station. Several accomplices were also arrested, according to the police.
