Singer Fjolla Morina Released from Prison

The Kosovar singer, Fjolla Morina has been released from prison after being sentenced to six years in prison by the Court of Kukes, for "trafficking weapons and ammunition" in Albania.

According to the artist's lawyer, Fanol Krasniqi, the court rejected the Prosecution's request for her extradition and also the detention measure was terminated.

"On September 15, 2021, the court rejected the request of the Prosecution for her extradition and immediately terminated her detention," said Krasniqi.

Fjolla Morina was remanded in prison for 40 days by the Basic Court in Prishtina. The detention measure was calculated from the moment when Morina was arrested on July 17, 2021 in Prishtina.

The singer was declared internationally wanted by Interpol, as she was charged with trafficking in weapons and ammunition in Albania.

Fjolla Morina's first arrest was made in September last year, at the Morina border crossing point, where the singer was found with a "Zoraki" pistol with 23 bullets in the car.
