A 44-year-old man convicted of murder was extradited from the United States today. Citizen Kamer Duhanxhiu was arrested earlier this year in Florida.

He had been internationally wanted for 26 years, after being sentenced by Italian authorities to 30 years in prison for the criminal offense of "Murder", attempted murder, and "Murder under aggravating circumstances", events that occurred in 1999 in Asti, Italy.

The 44-year-old has been placed in custody for extradition to Italy where he will face his sentence.
