Shkruar nga PamfletiThe Albanian cocaine cartel: Yachts, millions and the women who hide the trafficking wealth
The two 'businessman' brothers Artur and Klevis Hoxhosmani, arrested by SPAK in Palasa along with Ermir Ndreaj, the owner of "Cinco Cavalli" and "Savoy", have a key role in the Albanian organization that has filled Europe with cocaine. According to SPAK, the criminal organization has seized over 6 tons of cocaine, with a market value of around 411 million euros. This figure indicates an extraordinary financial power of the group, with deep roots in the economic and construction system of Albania.
The money circulated invisibly through the Hawala system, avoiding any banking traces or physical movement. "Pamphlet" learns that the two brothers collaborated in Albania with two important oligarchs, channeling drug money into the construction sector.
One of the tracks where the investigation can be deepened is the source of the 1.6 million euros that have been poured into the accounts of the famous moderator Luana Vjollca over the last two years. Based on which contract has she benefited from nearly 800 thousand euros per year? Who is the financier and what is the nature of the declared service?
In the official statement, SPAK states that the criminal network had a permanent supply line in the United Kingdom. The line was managed by Maksim Koxha, a well-known behind-the-scenes figure, who organized traffic through European ports to England, using a network of Kurdish and Romanian drivers.
Maks Koxha, who moves between Tirana, London and Dubai, managed millions of euros from the sale of cocaine, bringing it to Albania through his people and investing it in luxury properties in Palasë, Tirana and other cities. His criminal activity began with human trafficking and cannabis cultivation, and has now become one of the key figures in money laundering in construction.
Former MP Aqif Rakipi's son-in-law, Ervis Keçi, is another link in the network. He manages a vintage car dealership in Durrës, where, according to data, millions of euros are laundered in collaboration with the Hoxhosmani brothers.
In Tirana, they have set up several shell businesses, including an electrical systems firm in the Deliorgji Complex, managed by citizen Armand Shehu, and an office in Murat Toptani, under the name "Ilaria 2015", registered for "business consultancy".
The assets have been distributed in the names of sentimental partners and trusted friends of the group. After feeling threatened by the investigations, Ermir Ndreaj transferred some of the businesses to the name of his friend Enio Jahelezi (alias Lul Jahelezi), a subject of the anti-mafia law, who has won a rare battle against SPAK by recovering the seized assets.
The investigations are expected to deepen and include oligarchs, construction executives, public figures and political figures who have benefited from this financial network linked to cocaine. / Pamphlet (Continued...)
