General Info:
Rasul Mislayev is a Russian national who fought for the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria.

Rasul Mislayev shared radical Islamist ideas and left for Syria in 2013 to participate in the Islamic State’s military activities against the Syrian government forces.

He was detained in Albania in July 2019 at Russia’s request and put in pre-extradition custody. Albania’s authorities granted Moscow’s extradition request after Russian law enforcement agencies had provided evidence of Maslyaev’s crimes.

Mislayev has been taken to a pre-trial detention facility, and an investigation into him is underway.
