Documents from the extradition court in London, Westminster Magistrate Court, show that Corrado Gestënja has been arrested for extradition purposes. In England, he also used the surname Kestënja and the false name James Martin.
This court was told that the 35-year-old Albanian is wanted on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by SPAK and approved by the GJKKO, for the criminal offenses of kidnapping and conspiracy to import Category A drugs.
The representative of the Albanian state in this extradition process said that Korado Gestënja, on or around 17/01/2020, unlawfully deprived Jan Prengë of his liberty, against his will.
"On or about 17/01/2020, you collaborated in the form of a conspiracy with other persons to import/export Category A drugs from Ecuador, specifically cocaine, in violation of the prohibition in force on these goods," the prosecutor told Geshtenja.
The next extradition hearing will be on 02/09/2026 at 10:00 while Geshtenja is being held in a London detention center. It remains unclear how the young Albanian resident of St Leonards On Sea entered England.
According to reports from the SPAK file, it appears that Korado Geshtenja was part of the surveillance and subsequent kidnapping of Jan Prenga. He was kidnapped in the Kamza area and then taken to a resort in Shijak, where he was last seen.
According to the investigation, he was held hostage and tortured, while his body has not yet been found. The prosecution has proven that the kidnapping of Jan Prenga was ordered as an act of revenge for a quantity of drugs lost in England, which involved the victim's brother, Ndrek Prenga. Dritan Rexhepi is also suspected of being involved in this incident./ Top Channel
