John Jones QC was one of the most vocal advocates in the UK for extradition cases. In two cases after the arrest in London, he managed to block the extradition of the former director of counter-intelligence of SHIK Ilir Kumbaro, sentenced in absentia to 15 years for the abduction and torture in Vain of Lezha, of the businessman Remzi Hoxha.
John Jones QC’s death has been learned following a lawsuit initiated by his wife Misa Zgonec-Rozej, seeking 5 5m compensation from a psychiatric hospital.
Jones, ended his life in 2016 after jumping in front of a train at West Hampstead station.
Jones’s wife, and a well-known lawyer, in the lawsuit says that two doctors gave him an inappropriate medication treatment at Florence Nightingale Hospitals Ltd, blaming them for the death.
Ilir Kumbaro was first arrested in London in September 2008 and released in December 2009, after lawyer Jone Jones told the extradition court that his arrest warrant had expired.
This was the first episode of the extradition block.
Prosecutor Xhevat Hana’s determination led to Kumbaro being arrested again in January 2010, following the procedures of his conditional release, after his son’s bride set a. 10,000 bail.
Top Channel journalist Muhamed Veliu, a former London correspondent who has been following the whole sensational extradition case, says that “the British justice authorities were surprised at the time how Ilir Kumbaro was able to hire John Jones QC as a lawyer. “It was never learned who paid for his defense services to the Albanian justice fugitive, at a time when Jones was the best expert on extradition cases and naturally very expensive in the services he provided.”
Journalist Muhamed Veliu tells what happened in the last extradition session.
“Several extradition court hearings were held. The documents brought to London by prosecutor Xhevat Hana were leading the extradition to an irreversible path. In these court hearings it was seen that Ilir Kumbaro this time had no hope, to avoid extradition as happened, the first time, of course with the help of his friends in Tirana, interested in keeping Ilir Kumbaro away from Albania. On December 7, 2011 at 15:00 the judge will read the expected decision to give the green light to the extradition. On the evening of December 6, it was learned that lawyer John Jones QC had held a consultation with Ilir Kumbaron where he probably explained to him that the judge would order extradition. This is the last moment when Ilir Kumbaro turns out to be present in the English state. The next day he does not appear in court, meanwhile Jones told the court he had spoken to his client the night before. In the circumstances when Kumbaro broke the parole the judge had no choice but to declare him wanted. “Since December 2011, when the former SHIK officer Ilir Kumbaro disappeared, there is no information about him whether he is alive or living in hiding somewhere else.”
According to journalist Muhamed Veliu, the suicide of English lawyer John Jones QC is added to the list of people who were involved in the extradition of Ilir Kumbaro but who are no longer alive today.
Initially, prosecutor Xhavat Hana passed away after a sudden illness for which his daughter Albana has expressed doubts.
Budion Meçe, former officer of SHISH, part of the group that tortured Remzi Hoxha, after a long illness while this case was being tried in the Court of Tirana, passed away.
Remzi Hoxha’s body was never found. Ilir Kumbaro from 2011 is wanted by the English and Albanian justice.
