Qatar has extradited a wanted individual of Asian nationality to the competent authorities in the United States as part of a joint security operation.
The operation was carried out within the framework of security cooperation between the Ministry of Interior, the Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya) and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, through the channels of the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL).
According to the Ministry of Interior, the individual faces several serious criminal charges related to transnational organised crime.
The wanted individual was referred to the Public Prosecution to complete the necessary legal procedures.
The Public Prosecution then issued a decision authorising the surrender of the individual to the competent US authorities in accordance with applicable procedures.
The Ministry of Interior said the operation falls within the framework of international security cooperation and coordination with friendly countries.
It added that the operation strengthens Qatar’s position as a trusted international partner in confronting transnational organised crime, enhancing community security and supporting the international justice system.
The ministry said the process was carried out in accordance with national legislation and applicable legal treaties and mechanisms.
