The former head of the Serious Crimes Prosecutor's Office at the time of the operation against Xibraka's laboratory, Euden Beçi, has revealed that during the investigation there were suspicions that the operation was unraveling, as well as there were difficulties in following up on the ground.
Beçi has shown that, initially, the prosecution and the police did not understand where they had entered and what they had captured, but with the arrival of experts from Germany, it was understood how much cocaine was "produced" in the laboratory of Xibraka.
" In a very confidential manner, we were referred by the German prosecutor's office to a material for the start of a proactive investigation, and this was about 1 month before the arrests were made.
In this period, a series of interceptions were carried out, which led to the identification of the place where people gathered and where the illegal activity was carried out, in Xibrakë.
There came a point when the file had to be executed because there were suspicions of de-conspiracy that came not only from operational intelligence, but also from the fact that the place where it was being developed was an isolated and sparsely populated place and surveillance groups found it difficult to penetrate.
At the moment when it was seen that a large group of people were entering the former state reserves, the intervention was made and the people who were there and the others who had come out to be intercepted were arrested.
We had continuous contact with the German prosecutor's office because in the first moments, the Albanian police and the prosecutor's office did not find out what was being done, where we had entered, what had been discovered and what was hidden behind the arrests.
The Albanian police had doubts that they were not finding anything at that moment, but with the interventions we had with our German colleagues, we managed to capture a vehicle that was leaving the cordoned off area that had about 30 kg of cocaine.
And within 12 hours, a group of expert chemists and prosecutors from Germany came to find out what we had captured, because in the first moments we didn't understand where we had entered" , said former prosecutor Eugen Beçi on SYRI TV.
