Judge Rudina Palloj left the prison arrest measures in force for the 11 suspects, while the measure for lawyer Armand Tragaj, along with two others, was changed to "compulsory appearance."
Following the mega anti-drug operation "URA", conducted in cooperation between Albanian and Italian authorities, the court has imposed security measures for 52 suspects involved in the international drug trafficking network.
Among the detained persons was Armand Tragaj, a lawyer in Durrës and former secretary of the Municipal Council of this city. For him and two others, the court has imposed the measure of obligation to appear, while 11 other people have been left in prison.
Tragaj requested a change of the measure before the Special Court, arguing that the continuation of the security measure would aggravate his family situation.
" I am psychologically burdened and the continuation of this measure will aggravate my family situation, where I have two sick parents, a paralyzed stepmother, a brother in a psychiatric hospital and a wife with a small child. And for this reason, I ask to be close to my family ," he declared before the GJKKO.
Along with the lawyer, two other arrested persons, Bexhet Mema and Ervis Deti, were also released from prison.
The arrested people who will face the measure of arrest with imprisonment are: Orgest Molla, Altin Morina, Akil Ndrejaku, Musa Koça, Rando Aliu, Sokol Isteri Tatani, Ligor Çombashi, Altin Pjetri, Ervin Zeqiri, Gezim Thartori, Alfred Hysa.
We recall that the joint operation "Ura" which took place between Albania and Italy led to the crackdown on a powerful criminal group based in Durrës. What helped the authorities to unravel it in detail was, in addition to various audio and environmental intercepts, also the decrypted messages from the Sky ECC platform.
These are large loads, with only one of them containing 250 kilograms of cocaine and pure heroin. In the same conversations, the "flow" of money from Puglia to Albania was also discovered. These are payments made by international bus drivers. According to DIA data, an amount of 4.5 million Euros has been seized.
Authorities have discovered through wiretapped conversations the drug money transfers, which took place in Bari for 500 thousand Euros. These groups have been subject to legal action before. For example, 3 million Euros in cash were seized in Durrës, 30 kilograms of heroin and several laboratories in Bari, 2 tons of cocaine in Rotterdam, 932 kilograms of cocaine in the port of Gioia Tauro and 400 kilograms of hashish in Bari.
