The attempt of a 40-year-old man from Dibra to smuggle around 109 thousand euros into the port of Durres was stopped by the border police.

The Blues handcuffed citizen Jahje Zebi at the entrance to Albania, while the money was found hidden in the van he was driving.

"During the police operation codenamed "Asset", citizen JZ, 40 years old, resident of Dibër, was arrested in flagrante delicto. During the second-line search, in the van driven by this citizen, 108,960 euros and 600 francs were found, which he was attempting to bring into Albania, without declaring them to the PKK. Along with the money, the van driven by the arrested person, as well as 2 mobile phones and his passport, were seized as material evidence," the police announced.

In cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office and partners, work continues to document the source of the seized money.

Meanwhile, 3 days ago, Durrës Port Police seized 223,200 euros suspected to be proceeds of crime and arrested their possessor.
