Dritan Rexhepi, arrested in Istanbul on behalf of Albanian and Italian justice, has a series of convictions and accusations brought against him.
He was sentenced to 25 years in prison by the Court of Serious Crimes for the murder of two people with firearms on January 6, 1999. But even though he had a conviction, he was on the list of most wanted by Albanian justice .
Rexhepi is also accused of organizing and ordering the hostage-taking of Jang Prenga (who later died), after his brother, who was involved in drug trafficking, had not delivered a quantity of 260 kilograms of cocaine.
In 2020, Interpol published several photographs of Rexhepi, from inside a prison in Ecuador, where he was serving a sentence for drug trafficking. Rexhepi is suspected of being the leader of the cocaine trafficking network to Europe, a network destroyed in 2020 by a Europol operation, which involved the State Police, among others. He was arrested in 2014 with 240 kg of cocaine in Ecuador, but is suspected of directing cocaine trafficking operations from his cell. (A2 Televizion)
