The Special Court has reviewed the security measures against persons arrested in the context of a money laundering investigation, an operation carried out in cooperation with Italian authorities and linked to the Igli Kamberi group.
According to the investigative file provided by journalist Anila Hoxha, the investigations have revealed a sophisticated mechanism for transporting money obtained from drug trafficking activities.
Prosecutors suspect that significant sums of money were transported through international truck drivers, with the aim of avoiding documentation and customs controls, making it more difficult to identify their origin and avoiding legal obligations for declaration.
The file states that this method relied on the relationship of trust between the owners of the money and the drivers of buses or trucks identified by the criminal group. According to the investigation, the cooperation between the parties was organized and continuous, while the drivers received payment in the form of a percentage for transporting the amounts and the risk they assumed.
One of the main episodes documented by investigators dates back to October 22, 2024, when a large amount of cash hidden in two bags of used clothes was allegedly handed over to the Albanian truck driver, Sokol Fusha, by Italian citizen Annamaria Lamia Caputo.
According to the investigation, the FORD C-Max vehicle with the license plate DK447LA, used by Caputo, was under audio and video surveillance. Footage obtained at a gas station along the SS100 highway in Italy documented the meeting and linked the movement of monetary sums to the activity of the criminal group under investigation.
Investigators also found that during her movement, Annamaria Lamia Caputo communicated with Ergys Kastrati, who gave her instructions for the meeting place. In a voice message, he indicated the area where the contact person would be located.
A few minutes before arriving at the meeting point, Caputo was approached by another person in a different vehicle, who told him: "When we get there, let's pretend we don't know each other," a detail that, according to investigators, shows the level of organization and coordination of the operation.
At 16:11, Caputo arrived at the IP gas station near Capurso, in the direction of Bari, and informed Ergys Kastrati with another voice message saying: “I have arrived .” Her movements were documented both through the GPS system installed in the vehicle and by the gas station’s security cameras.
According to the investigation, an AUDI A4 Avant with license plate FM702DF was also in the area, driven by a person suspected of being Sergio Lamonaca. The vehicle is registered in the name of Nevila Kamberi. Verifications in the “Report & Statistics” system have shown that Nevila Kamberi had entered Albanian territory together with her two children on August 8, 2025.
Ergys Kastrati then sent Caputo additional voice instructions to identify the truck that would pick up the money, describing a Volvo truck with a blue canopy. According to the file, he was referring to the same vehicle that had been used in a previous meeting.
Video footage obtained by investigators shows that the blue-roofed Volvo truck had arrived at the service area at 2:50 p.m. and was positioned inside the gas station, where the cash would then be delivered.
