    Default Kosovo Requests Extradition of Organ Trafficking Suspect

    Kosovo authorities requested the extradition of Moshe Harel, an Israeli citizen accused of being involved in organ- trafficking from Kosovo’s Medicus clinic in 2008.

    According to justice minister Aberald Tahiri, Kosovo authorities filed an extradition request for Moshe Harel, currently held in detention in Cyprus after being arrested earlier this month.

    Harel, an Israeli citizen and main suspect in the Kosovo’s Medicus case, has been on the run since 2010.

    In July 2017, Pristina Basic Court started the retrial of Medicus clinic owner Lutfi Dervishi, his son Arban Dervishi and head anaesthetist Sokol Hajdini, all accused of involvement in organised crime in connection with people-trafficking.

    In March 2016, Kosovo’s appeals court had confirmed their convictions, jailing Lutfi Dervishi and his son for eight years and Hajdini for five. But a Supreme Court ruling overturned the original verdict on the basis of procedural irregularities.

    The ruling said found that “multiple illegal kidney transplants” took place at the clinic in 2008.

    Poor people from Turkey, Russia, Moldova and Kazakhstan were allegedly brought to the clinic after being assured that they would receive up to 15,000 euro for their kidneys.

    The EULEX prosecutor in the case said then that transplant recipients, mainly Israelis, paid more than 70,000 euro for the kidneys.

    Harel was also charged in Israel in 2015 with international organ-trafficking and organising illegal transplants, alongside six others.

    “The accused ran a real business in trafficking organs, on dozens of occasions over the course of years, exploiting the financial distress of the donors and the health crisis of the recipients for economic gain,” the Israeli justice ministry said at the time.

    As well as Harel, a Turkish doctor, Yusuf Sonmez, is still wanted in the Medicus case but remains at large.

    Police initially raided the Medicus clinic in 2008 after a Turkish man whose kidney had been removed was found seriously ill at Pristina airport.

    The clinic was also mentioned in a Council of Europe report which alleged that elements of the Kosovo Liberation Army traded the organs of prisoners during the 1999 conflict.

    These and other allegations eventually led to the establishment of the new Hague-based Specialist Chambers, which will try former KLA fighters for wartime and post-war crimes, although it has yet to issue any indictments.

    Investigators closed down the Medicus clinic in 2008, and it has since been sold.

    Here goes the negative propaganda. All coming at the same time.

    Thousand of Albanian are still missing, probably in mass graves in Serbia. But an Israeli doctor and few Albanians "kidney trans-planters" make the news at this appropriate time. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Albanian they were doing this to.

    Regardless, anyone to have done such a thing should be punished to the full extent.

    Fake news, Albania is a perfect country. An Albanian would never do this. This article is totally agenda-driven. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this propaganda.

    Can we talk about Serbia and the Kosovo war instead?
