Who are the arrested and those wanted?
Rexhep Rraja, the son of former MP Rrahman Rraja, and his cousin Përparim Rraja were wanted by the Fushë Kruja police for the violence at the latter's quarry in Borizanë, an event that occurred on July 6, 2023. The barbaric violence occurred after two cousins, Bilbil and Jashar Maja, had reported to the police that Përparim Rraja's quarry was destroying their homes in Borizanë. Members of the Rraja tribe took them to the hospital after raping them with baseball bats and other heavy tools. Rexhep Rraja, in addition to the barbaric violence against the Maja cousins, is known for the sensational story with Xhisiela Maloku, the girl from Fushë-Kruja, who in 2018 reported that she was raped by her partner after the breakup, but 4 hours later withdrew the complaint.

On December 18 of this year, the GJKKO sentenced him to 11.4 years in prison for drug trafficking in 9 episodes. His brother, Bujar Sefa, wanted for this operation, was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison on July 1, 2024 as the leader of a criminal group that cultivated cannabis plots in several areas of Kruja. The two brothers, Islam and Bujar Sefa, according to contemporary writings, were sentenced in 2021 in Italy to 9 and 12 years in prison, respectively, as part of an organization that dealt with drug trafficking from the Netherlands to Venice, during the years 2016-2017.
