The Albanian citizen Mark Marku has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in the beginning of this year for armed robbery in a time when he has been in Ireland.
He is married to an Irish woman, July O’reilly, a teacher graduated at the Dublin University in Ireland.
The crime happened in Rrethimnos, Crete, on 3 May 2010, but according to the Sunday Times, Marku has been in Ireland on that day.
The 24 year old was charged of participating in a gang of nine armed people that has committed armed robbery, car theft, illegal arm possession and drug possession.
The three-judge panel has found Marku guilty of all charges, besides the drug possession one.
On the day of the crime, Mark has been with his wife at “Co Carlow”, Ireland, right after he had started working at the Mount Wolesley Hotel.
Mark was offered to work as a part time waiter, a job that he has started on May 3rd, as confirmed by the General Manager of the hotel, Garry Lavin. Dhe official documents of the hotel show that he has even received a bonus on that day for working extra hours.
According to the Irish wife of Mark, O’reilly, he has been to Crete, at his brother, on May 18th, which can be verified from his airplane ticket. The ticket was presented in the trial, but it was rejected as falsified.
The Irish wife of Marku claims that her husband has not had an honest trial due to the hate against Albanians in Crete.
Another Albanian in Britain was charged for a murder that he had not committed, since he was in England when the crime was committed, and he was compensated.
