A 45-year-old Georgian citizen wanted internationally for contract killing was extradited from the Republic of Moldova. Border guards conducted the operation based on a court order.

A man was detained on May 22 at the "Eugen Doga" International Airport in Chisinau after checks in the information systems revealed an INTERPOL alert issued at the request of the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Interpol Azerbaijan.

On August 11, following the submission of documents by the Azerbaijani authorities and a court decision from the Chisinau court based in Ciocana, the suspect was extradited and handed over to the Azerbaijani authorities. This was done in accordance with all legal procedures related to the extradition of internationally wanted persons.

The extradition operation was carried out by border police officers from the Cross-Border Crime Investigation Department, with the operational support of personnel from the Special Border Actions Department.
