The young man with the initials JC, was extradited by Greek police in Kakavia and is now in the hands of investigators of the Counter-Terrorism Directorate of the Albanian Police. He is being investigated for possible links with jihadist groups operating in Albania, Kosovo and FYROM.
The young will be referred to the criminal court of the Albanian capital.
