Local media have included him in a list with Dritan Rexhepi....
The Ecuadorian authorities, in cooperation with the Spanish authorities, have developed a wide-ranging operation against a group led by an Albanian. According to the Ecuadorian media, the group led by Dritan Gjika is involved in the trafficking of large quantities of cocaine. 30 people were arrested and large amounts of money, weapons, cars, expensive watches, etc. were seized.
But who is Dritan Gjika?
Born in 1976 and living in Ecuador since 2013, he is one of the main figures in the case that the police investigated, confidentially, in 2021. The case involves Rubén Cherres, a friend of Danilo Carrera, the brother-in-law of President Lasso. Cherres, excommunicated some time ago, was a business partner of the Albanian Dritan Gjika in several companies.
Dritan Gjika, according to the data of his country, has finished high school. However, in Ecuador his finances stood apart in the pandemic.
Between 2015 and 2018, the Albanian did not pay income tax, according to the Internal Revenue Service (SRI). In 2019 and 2020, the value that was taxed exceeded $500 in each of those years. But in 2021, he paid $15,342 in income tax, while the exit tax that year exceeded $3,700. In 2022, he did not pay income tax; but contributed $1,805 in foreign currency outflows.
What was Gjika's profitable activity in Ecuador? Gjika incorporated a dozen companies on the same day, June 17, 2021, together with Rubén Cherres. The suspicious thing about the companies created at the same time is that they have a wide range of social objects, starting from the production of meat, through tourism and the promotion of shows, according to documents emerging from the investigation carried out by the office of the assemblyman Ricardo Vanegas.
Cherres, in his identity file, is listed as disabled and mentions "oil tanker" as his occupation, without further explanation.
According to the Albanian state police, Gjika has no criminal record and has not been arrested by the Albanian police.
However, in September 2021, Italian police deported him from Treviso, Italy, after failing to collect the necessary documentation to enter the country.
The data show that he traveled between Albania and Dubai.
On January 7, 2023, on the eve of the distribution of the first audios that shed light on the case, the Albanian Gjika left for Turkey. Since then there has been no news of him.
