The dismantling of the SkyECC application, which has been widely used by well-known figures in the criminal world, seems like a treasure trove for the Italian authorities and the Special Prosecutor's Office in connection with the international drug trafficking operation, with the issuance of 52 arrest warrants.
In the voluminous dossier of more than 1,300 pages of the Italian anti-mafia, important communications and environmental observations have been analyzed that have identified members of the criminal group, most of whom are Albanian citizens.
The international cocaine and heroin trafficking network had its epicenter and base in Durrës, and two other subgroups operating in Puglia, Italy, but also in the Netherlands.
Three collaborators of justice played a key role in the dismantling of the members of the criminal group. In the Italian file, it is mentioned that in our country foreign prosecutors have questioned the protected witness of the Albanian justice, Nuredin Duman. The latter has made it possible to identify the most crooked names of the group, Elvis Doçi known by the nickname "Visi i Pojës", Fatmir Troplini, the nephew and son of Xhevdet Troplini, as well as Adi Çoba, all three from the city of Durrës.
According to the file, Dumani identifies Elvis Doçi through photos, who according to him had extensive influence in drug trafficking. Dumani also talks about Adi Çoba, who in our country was known by the nickname "Bazholi".
The intercepts documented 40 episodes of the passage of narcotics from the countries of origin to Italy and then the money obtained was sent to Albania. Drivers who took over the money deliveries were paid up to 12% if the value was high, and up to 4% if the value of the money being transported was lower.
Of the 52 arrest warrants issued, 42 people were arrested. 40 of the network members are Albanians and the other 12 are Italians.
This criminal group was divided into 3 subgroups. The main base in Durrës was headed by Elvis Doçi, known by the nickname Visi i Pojës, as well as other individuals, Erind Lasku, Adi Çoba and Redi Tusha. Their roles were divided from securing the narcotics to delivering them to their destination.
Cocaine was obtained in Latin America and then sent to Italy and other EU countries. While heroin, obtained in Turkey, was transited through Albania and the port of Durres, before being shipped to Bari, Italy.
As part of this mega-operation codenamed "Ura", 4.5 million in cash and 7 million in real estate assets were seized. (A2 Televizion)
