Dritan Rexhepi, will be extradited to Albania. The court of Turkey accepted the request of the Albanian authorities for extradition. 

Rexhepi has been convicted of murder in absentia.

Born as Gramoz Rexhepi in a village in Vlora County, Albania's economic struggles and criminal violence in the 1990s shaped Rexhepi, according to profiles of him in local and international media. At just 19, in 1999, he carried out a contract hit in Tirana, killing a policeman and another man. 

Arrested in January 2006 by Albanian police, he escaped that same evening through a defective door at a Durres police station and was convicted in absentia of murder by an Albanian court. He has been appealing that conviction through his lawyers ever since with no success.

His Albanian escape marked the first of three jailbreaks as European police pursued him on drug-trafficking charges. In Italy, he sawed through cell bars and escaped; in Belgium, he climbed over a wall. In a 2014 arrest in Ecuador, he was caught with over 600 pounds of cocaine, allying with a local trafficker linked to Colombian and Mexican cartels. 

The organization he leads is known as Kompania Bello. Investigative journalists who have followed his case have noted that he has been able to travel around the world with fake passports, including allegedly to Albania, but his luck ran out in a visit to Turkey, where he had entered the country with a Colombian passport that was traced by Italian police who then forwarded the info to their Turkish counterparts.
