Artan Hoxha has revealed who Gëzim Çela is, the head of one of the criminal groups hit during the police operation "Flames at Sea", in which Frontex and the Guardia di Finanza participated.
Invited to the "Te Paespozuarit" show, Hoxha said that the internationals were involved because it is suspected that it was about 2.5 tons of cocaine. The journalist explained the criminal "career" of Çela and why he got the title "drug baron".
"Gëzim Çela has a long history with the law in Albania. He was also accused as a former companion of the leftist prime minister at the time, he was accused by Italian justice of exploiting prostitution, drug trafficking and the murder of two Italian carabinieri. The group had 14 Albanians, 4 Italians and a Ukrainian. He was arrested in Albania, he was sentenced in 2003 to 11 years in prison. The sentence was commuted to Albania and he managed to convince the court that he suffered from an incurable disease. For this reason, the court released him. After he was released from prison , was never caught again.
In 2006, he was sentenced to 6 years in prison for heroin trafficking. He was released from prison in September 2012. Turkey brought him to Rinas. Albanian justice has just arrived and arrested him. I don't know under what circumstances it came out, but it did.
This character, even the drug baron, has escaped justice. Gëzim Çela was a special forces operative. He was convicted in Italy, Turkey, Albania. And it came out.
In 2014, another operation was carried out, 7 kg of cocaine was seized. He was the courier who transported it from the laboratory in Kosovo to the laboratory in Fushë Kuqe. In Kosovo, the chemist, the "cocaine aunt", was arrested. In Albania, during the search of Çela's apartment, heroin, cannabis, chemicals used for cocaine were found. He was accused of having created a network that started from the USA, Turkey, Kosovo. There was a laboratory in Albania and Kosovo.
He was specialized in the trafficking of heroin, along the way he also got into cocaine. Çela was sentenced to 18 years in prison, but he was not caught, he continued his activity. He has been involved in electoral campaigns. It was in a vaki, with many people there. He is a man with many strong ties, that's why he was difficult to catch" , said Hoxha.
