He broke into a hospital in Milan with a gun in a bouquet of flowers and committed murder: Albanian fugitive criminal arrested in Antwerp

An Albanian murderer, Gerd Gjinarari, also known as 'the general,' has been arrested in Antwerp by the FAST police team. He was wanted internationally since 2019 after escaping from Albania where he was serving a sentence for a murder committed in a Milan hospital in 1997. In 1997, along with an accomplice, he entered the hospital disguised as visitors, concealed a firearm in a bouquet of flowers, and shot dead Naim Zyberi, a notable figure in the Albanian criminal underworld of the 1990s. Gjinarari received a life sentence in Italy in 1999 for this crime. In 2014, he was extradited to Albania
