Alfred Shkurti, 45, was convicted Monday of ordering six murders and personally committing a seventh as head of a gang active in Albania, Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania, which trafficked drugs to western Europe.

The victims were described as rival gang leaders and local businessmen.

Court officials said Shkurti was also convicted of weapons offenses and destruction of property.

He had initially been charged with ordering more than 20 murders, as well as several kidnappings and desecration of graves.

Shkurti was arrested in Turkey and extradited to Albania in 2009 on an international warrant.
