Another member of the drug trafficking and money laundering criminal group that was hit as part of the operation codenamed "Ura" has been arrested in Belgium. 44-year-old Gertin Aliu was remanded in custody in absentia, after the Bari Prosecutor's Office accused him of drug trafficking committed within the framework of the criminal organization.
According to the investigative file, Gertin Aliut had the role of an intermediary between the Albanian and Italian drug trafficking groups. In one of the episodes, the 44-year-old communicates with Redi Tusha, Erigels Presi and Genci Telollarit regarding the mediation they would do to secure the narcotics, find a warehouse where the amount of drugs would be placed, and then when the load would leave by truck from Albania to Bari. The conversations between them were conducted on the SkyEcc application in October 2021.
A total of 52 arrest warrants were issued from the joint operation between Spak and the Italian Antimafia, most of whom were Albanian citizens, and 29 of these measures were imposed by the GJKKO.
The criminal organization was divided into three subgroups, the main base in Durrës, led by Elvis Doçi, known as "Visi i Pojës".
This criminal group is accused of trafficking large amounts of cocaine, heroin, and cannabis to Bari and several EU countries, and the money obtained from the sales was brought to Albania by buses. (A2 Televizion)
