The Special Prosecutor against Corruption and Organized Crime on the operation developed today with the help of Europol and the Italian, Swiss and Polish authorities.
The investigation has resulted in the existence of a structured criminal group, which carried out the criminal activity of trafficking narcotics of the cocaine type from Latin American countries towards the countries of the European Union, mainly Italy.
This criminal group carried out criminal activity in Italy, Albania, Poland and Switzerland.
The suspects laundered their ill-gotten gains through a countless network of companies, run by an Italian-Chinese organization set up for this purpose, which supplied false invoices for around 375 million Euros.
As a result of the investigation, 360 kg of narcotics of the cocaine type, weapons and other valuable items, estimated at the value of 60 million Euro cash, were seized.
Today, on 25.09.2024, in the Republic of Albania, 21 inspections of homes and other premises were carried out. Two members of the criminal group, citizens with the initials Jurgen Kaçorri and Arjanit Maloku, were arrested in the act.
30,000 Euros, 6,000 Paud, 2 vehicles, 1 gun, 4 Rolex watches, 26 mobile devices, documents, other valuables, and other material evidence were also seized as material evidence.
Those arrested are accused of "Trafficking in narcotics", "Cleaning the proceeds of a criminal offense or criminal activity" and "Fraud in investments in large sums".
According to the data so far, the investigation belongs to a 4-year period, 2020-2024, and also includes the analysis of conversations in the "Sky ECC" application. The criminal organization, based in Albania and with organic branches in the Italian territory, is known to have imported cocaine from South America to Europe via commercial shipping routes and then brought it to Italy via Spain and the Netherlands.
Large quantities of cocaine, once introduced into Italy, were stored for later distribution in 5 logistic-operational bases, set up by the organization and located mainly in Brescia, Romano di Lombardia and Palazzolo sull'Oglio and in other municipalities in central Italy -north like Varese and Pisa. Inside the aforementioned centers, deposit managers collected money profited from the sale of narcotics to deliver to a parallel Italo-Chinese organization, which would provide a secret banking service for the transfer of illicit capital. abroad.
In detail, the large amount of money coming from drug trafficking would have flowed, through a Chinese national living in the province of Brescia, into a complex system aimed at "monetizing" fake bills equal to about 375 million euros issued by "entrepreneurs" in compliance. Therefore, this mechanism would have defined a triple advantage for drug traffickers compared to the more traditional cash transfer systems implemented through their physical transport between the borders of different states minimizing the risk of being detected during customs and police controls on the road, the proceeds of the criminal offense in the legal district and savings in commissions for carriers. / Pamphlet
