The Ministry of Justice requested from the competent Turkish authorities that Ljupco Palevski be kept in custody due to extradition until the completion of the procedure. "We expect the Republic of Turkey to immediately act on our request," the ministry informs.
This morning (6.12) an official notification was received from Interpol, that Palevski, who is wanted with an international warrant, was arrested in Turkey. The Ministry of Justice immediately started the extradition procedure. After the completion of the documentation and the translation of the documents into Turkish, they will be submitted to the Turkish authorities.
The request for extradition should be signed by the Minister of Justice, Krenar Loga or a person authorized by him. When there is a danger that the person whose extradition is sought will flee or hide, the minister may request that legal measures be taken against that person for the purpose of his temporary detention.
After completion of the procedure in Turkey and after the extradition is approved, it will be agreed when and where Palevski will be taken. For now, there is no official information on whether there is any obstacle to the extradition of the suspect for two murders.
