The much-wanted citizens Plarent Dervishaj and Julian Meçaj are brought from Dubai to Tirana, the citizen Fabio Ballabani is captured in Germany

The State Police, in cooperation with international partners and the Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime, thanks to the professional investigative and tracking work of specialized units at the Criminal Police Department, enabled the transfer from the United Arab Emirates to Albania of persons much sought after Plarent Dervishaj and Julian Meçaj.

The structure of the Special Operational Force, in cooperation with the Rinas Border Police Station, organized the work and carried out the escorting of two citizens for the execution of the decision of the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime.

The citizen Plaurent Dervishaj is an internationally wanted person, after the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime has imposed on him the measure of "prison arrest" for "participation in a structured criminal group" and "the commission of criminal offenses by a structured group" criminal and criminal organization".

On 26.02.2005, in Durrës, citizen Plaurent Dervishaj, in cooperation with IT, LB and LR, allegedly killed citizen Klodian Saliu, with firearms.

On 27.02.2005, Plaurent Dervishaj, within the organized criminal group, in cooperation with other investigated subjects, namely E. Sh., IT, LB, etc., allegedly killed the citizens Vajdin Lamaj and Artan Arsi, with explosives.

While the citizen Julian Meçaj is a person announced as an international wanted person, after the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime has imposed on him the measure of "arrest in prison" for "participation in a structured criminal group", "the commission of criminal offenses by the group structured criminal and criminal organizations".

On 01.11.2019, on the Durrës-Tirana highway, near the Shkozet overpass, a gun was fired several times at the vehicle driven by Andi Maloku (who lost his life), where AN and AL were also passengers. From the investigations, Julian Meçaj is identified as one of the perpetrators, committing this crime in collaboration with other citizens.

Also, as a result of the exchange of intensive information between "Fast Albania" and "Fast Germany" it has become possible to capture for the purpose of extradition the internationally wanted citizen Fabio Ballabani.

By decision of the Special Court Against Corruption and Organized Crime, Fabio Ballabani has been placed under the security measure of "imprisonment" for the criminal offense of "assaulting members of the family of a person, who performs a state duty in the justice system, and committed in cooperation in the form of a structured criminal group", "structured criminal group", "commitment of criminal offenses by a structured criminal group and criminal organization".

The General Director of the State Police, Director Madhor Muhamet Rrumbullaku, evaluated the operations of specialized police structures and the cooperation with SPAK and international partners.

Director Madhor Muhamet Rrumbullaku said:

"Bringing to Albania and placing at the disposal of justice persons, not only highly wanted, but also among the most wanted by the Special Prosecution Body for some of the most serious criminal events of the last decade, proves the professional commitment of the Albanian Police State to crack down on crime.

Bringing these wanted persons to Albania is the best evidence that the State Police is facing crime and especially organized crime, giving it strong and harsh legal blows.

Arresting wanted persons is one of the main objectives of the State Police, in cooperation with international partners. The message of the State Police is clear: There is no crime, no punishment. The perpetrators of criminal offenses, wherever they hide, will face justice".
