The journalist tells how the much-wanted "mate" Rexhepi was captured/

The "King of Cocaine", as the Albanian drug boss, Dritan Rexhepi, is known, was arrested on Friday in Turkey, as a result of 3 red alerts from Interpol. He was put in handcuffs because of the charges brought by the Albanian and Italian authorities against him, such as murder, drug trafficking and kidnapping.

Journalist Klodiana Lala spoke about this arrest.

She revealed that justice fell on the tracks of Dritan Rexhepi after the Italian authorities realized that the latter had entered Turkey. Based on these data, the luxury villa where he lived was located.

During the interview for Neës 24, Lala revealed details about the murder of an Albanian in Ecuador

"Dritan Rexhepi is the most important character of the world of crime in the last 2 decades. He is not only a local character, but has crossed our borders and is the headline of many foreign media. He is a diabolical mastermind when it comes to underworld recruitment due to his ties to South American crime.
The police tracked him down. Rexhepi had recently started a family, married a citizen from South America and became a father. The Italian authorities were looking for him as the head of a cartel and realized that he had entered Turkey. Based on these data, the luxurious villa where Rexhepi lived in Turkey has been located. At the moment when the police forces intervened to arrest him, he tried to leave but did not succeed.

In Ecuador until 2021, Dritan Rexhepi who was arrested in 2014 there, contacted and provided a report that he had good behavior in prison and was given the opportunity to go on parole. He had contact until 2022 and then left without leaving a trace. It was proven that he could have entered Albania through false identities. There were also shares that were not disclosed.

The list of his crimes is very long. Recently, the prosecutor's office of Vlora is investigating an assassination attempt that happened 6 months ago, where a well-known figure in the world of crime was killed, and it is thought that it was ordered by his group.
There are many Albanians in Latin America, most of whom are either left as collateral or are part of criminal groups. In this particular case, Arjan Rizai is believed to have been a guarantee for a shipment of drugs. As for his extradition from Turkey, it is a very complex issue, given that he is wanted not only by Albania", said Lala.
