SPAK finalizes investigations into international drug trafficking group; arrests, seizures and security measure for a police officer

The Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime has completed the main phase of the investigations for criminal proceedings no. 49/3 (year 2023, former no. 49 year 2019) and no. 29 year 2024, related to international narcotics trafficking activities, money laundering, corruption and criminal offenses* provided for by several articles of the Criminal Code.

At the request of the Special Prosecution Office, the Special Court for Corruption and Organized Crime decided to allow searches and searches of 21 persons under investigation, searches which were carried out today, on 27.11.2025, by the judicial police services of the State Police Directorate.

The above criminal proceedings were investigated within the framework of the Joint Investigation Team with the Anti-Mafia District Prosecutor's Office in Brescia, Italy, and the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Swiss Confederation. The joint investigations with the Italian authorities revealed the activity of a criminal group, mainly composed of Albanian citizens, which aimed at international drug trafficking. This structured criminal group, originating from Albanian territory with organic branches in Italian territory, is suspected of having imported narcotics from South America to Europe (its northern part), via sea routes, exporting them, via land routes in heavy tonnage vehicles, towards Italy.

Italian authorities have seized a significant quantity of cocaine-type narcotics, worth over 1,300 kg. This quantity, after entering Italian territory, is suspected to have been stored and stored, to be distributed to 6 operational logistical bases, created by the criminal group, throughout Italian territory.

Inside these bases that were used for the storage and storage of narcotics, the responsible persons are suspected of having continued to distribute quantities of narcotics and collect cash from the sale. The considerable amount of money from the trafficking of narcotics is suspected of having been transferred to the leaders of the criminal group through the so-called 'money mules' (financial couriers/transporters), who are part of the criminal group, which also included several bus drivers operating on the Italy-Albania route.

In addition to the security measures, determined today, on 27.11.2025, during the investigative activity carried out by the Italian authorities, 10 subjects, part of the criminal group, were arrested in flagrante delicto and over 550,000 euros in cash, 10 vehicles, 1 semi-automatic pistol and 130 kg of narcotics (cocaine and heroin) were seized, which, if released on the market, could reach a value of around 12 million euros.

Of the 24 people for whom security measures, "prison arrest" and "house arrest" have been imposed by the Italian authorities - it has been verified that 6 (six) of them are in Albania, 3 of whom have been arrested.

Also, during the preliminary investigations for this criminal proceeding, the necessary evidence was collected, which proves that citizen IH, in his capacity as a Judicial Police Officer in the Directorate of the Special Operational Force, in the General Directorate of the State Police, in charge of carrying out investigative and procedural actions for the criminal proceeding in question, has disclosed to the suspects, data from procedural acts that constituted an “investigative secret”. Citizen IH has requested irregular monetary benefits in exchange for the disclosure of secret data, as well as has committed further actions and omissions in violation of the law, which constitute a regular failure to fulfill his duty.
