Kreu i Bashkisë së Malësisë së Madhe, Tonin Marinaj, akuzohet nga Prokuroria e Firences si drejtues i një organizate kriminale të trafikut ndërkombëtar të drogës. CNA ka siguruar dosjen hetimore të Prokurorisë së Firences të vitit 2016, ku prokurori Giulio Monferini e akuzon Marinajn se ka themeluar, nxitur dhe drejtuar një organizatë me përmasa ndërkombëtare, me bazë kryesisht në Toskana, Venecia, Udine dhe në Shqipëri për trafik të marijuanës. Ndërkohë, CNA ka zbardhur me detaje se si funksiononte banda kriminale dhe personat e përfshirë në trafikun e lëndëve narkotike. Hetimet në shtetin italian, Tonin Marinaj nuk i ka deklaruar në formularin e vetëdeklarimit. Marinaj ka mashtruar në dy formularët e vetëdeklarimit, për zgjedhjet vendore të 2019 dhe 2023, ku ka thënë se nuk ka qenë asnjëherë në hetim nga ndonjë autoritet i huaj. Në lidhje me këtë çështje CNA i është drejtuar zyrtarisht KQZ-së se si po vijohet me këto verifikime dhe se a ka pasur dijeni për hetimet ndaj kryebashkiakut. Më 2 shtator, Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve në përgjigjen zyrtare për CNA sqaron se ky institucion më 11 korrik ka vendosur kryerjen e verifikimit të thelluar për Tonin Marinajn dhe dërgimin e të dhënave përkatëse Prokurorisë së Përgjithshme për vlerësim të mëtejshëm. KQZ nënvizon më tej se Prokuroria e Përgjithshme në lidhje me këtë subjekt nuk ka dërguar ende vendimin për miratimin e rezultateve të verifikimit.

Nga hetimet e prokurorisë italiane, në dokumentin e datës 22 janar 2016, e cila është një përmbledhje prej 18 faqesh, rezultoi se në 6 qershor të vitit 2010 kjo bandë ka trafikuar 11 kilogramë marijuanë. Sipas prokurorëve, droga pasi ka mbërritur në Itali i është dorëzuar Frederik Markut, i cili më pas do t'ua shiste palëve të treta.
Ndërkohë gjatë hetimeve disavjeçare Tonin Marinaj akuzohet se ka siguruar importimin në territorin italian dhe shpërndarjen e drogës te bashkëpunëtorët Fredinand Paja, Rini Marku, Frederik Marku dhe Ingrit Livadhi, të rreth 50 kilogramëve marijuanë.

Biseda mes tyre është zhvilluar për një ngarkesë droge, që gjatë komunikimeve është përdorur fjala "ndërtesë" në vend të fjalës "drogë". Bisedat mes tyre zhvillohen për pagesat që duhet të kryhen.

In a fascicle of the investigative file, it is specified in detail the trafficking of an amount of 50 kilograms of marijuana from Albania to Italy and then the distribution on the market, which according to the Italian investigations was carried out during the period June-July 2010.
In addition to the persons mentioned above, according to the Florence prosecutor's office, other persons, Danjel Cardaku, Indrit Livadhi, Silvia Piemonte, Arenco Pagu, Alban Giuseppe, Stefania Gamuzza, were also involved in the trafficking of narcotics (50 kilograms of marijuana).
The prosecution emphasizes that the transportation of the narcotic substance was previously carried out in Albania by the trio Tonin Marinaj, Danjel Vardeku and Rini Marku, who maintained separate contacts between the parties who bought and sold marijuana.
"Në thelb, rezulton nga njëra anë, negocimi për transportimin e lëndëve narkotike është kryer paraprakisht në Shqipëri nga treshja Tonin Marinaj, Danjel Vardeku dhe Rini Marku, të cilët mbanin veçmas kontakte ndërmjet palëve që blinin dhe shisnin marijuanën. Në veçanti, çifti Marinaj-Marku, përfaqësues të grupit venecian, mbajtën kontakte me Indrit Livadhin, Silvia Piemonte, Frederik Markun, Fredinand Pajën dhe Arenco Pagu, të cilët janë ata që në fuksione të ndryshme janë kujdesur për lëndën narkotike me qëllim për ta shitur. Lënda narkotike prej 50 kilogramë ndodhej në shtëpinë e çiftit Pagu-Piemonte. Ndërsa Cardaku dhe Alban Giuseppe ishin përgjegjës për mbajtjen e kontakteve me Stefania Gamuzza, kujdestare e dërgesës së marijuanës në Firence, për të drejtuar shitjet që i njëjti kryente për llogari të tij", thuhet në dosjen hetimore të Prokurorisë së Firences.
Në dosjen është edhe fotografia edhe një sasi droge të sekuestruar, e vendosur në disa çanta. Ndërkohë autoritetet italiane bëjnë me dije se arrestuan 4 persona mes të cilëve dhe Rini Markun.
Nënvizohet se Tonin Marinaj përveç grupit që drejtonte për trafikimin e lëndëve narkotike merrej edhe me grumbullimin e parave të sasive të drogës që shiteshin.
"Më 11 qershor 2010 Tonin Marinaj, me banim të përhershëm në territorin shqiptar, ndodhej në Itali, veçanërisht në Firence, me qëllim menaxhimin e drejtpërdrejtë të grumbullimit të parave në lidhje me grupet e mëparshme të lëndëve narkotike dhe planifikimin sasive të drogës për të gjithë klientët e mëdhenj, duke përfshirë Fredinand Pajën të vendosur në një pozicion të lartë në të ashtuquajturat grupi venecian. Siç mësohet gjatë veprimtarisë hetimore në 23 korrik 2010 rezultoi me arrestimin e 4 personave mes të cilëve Rini Marku dhe në identifikimin e depove të marijuanës të Tonin Marinajt. Ky i fundit kishte zgjedhur territorin toskan si bazë logjistike për magazinimin dhe klasifikimin marijuanës së importuar nga Shqipëria", thuhet në dosjen hetimore.
