An international criminal organization was dismantled by DIRANDRO (Peruvian Anti-Drugs). The Peruvian-Albanian network of drug trafficking and fraud of foreign buyers operated through the shipment of counterfeit drugs.
The group had created a system that combined illegal drug trafficking with fraud against international organizations. Their goal was to profit from large sums of money through fraudulent operations.
Police intervention made it possible to identify its members, their roles within the organization, and the method they used to commit crimes.
How did the Peruvian-Albanian criminal network operate?
According to police, the organization offered large shipments of cocaine to foreign buyers. To do this, they prepared video recordings that simulated the drug transport.
These videos showed alleged shipments from production areas to the port of Callao. They were part of a strategy to build trust with buyers.
The scheme allowed for the maintenance of an appearance of "legality" within the illegal market.
The plan consisted of replacing most of the cargo with flour. Only one of the packages contained real drugs.
In this way, they intended to deceive buyers after they had received advance payments.
According to the investigation, the organization had already received more than $60,000 from these transactions.
Among those involved are Peruvian and foreign nationals. One of the main operators was the person nicknamed "Pantro", in charge of collection and coordination.
Also participating was an Albanian national who acted as a financier in the country. Another member operated from Colombia.
Each had specific functions within the criminal structure.
How did the police manage to destroy the network?
DIRANDRO carried out intelligence work that made it possible to identify the organization's movements.
The investigations included special techniques that allowed for the video recording of the activities of the persons involved.
In the end, searches were carried out in apartments located in Callao, Comas and Los Olivos.
During the interventions, drug packages, materials used for its adulteration, and various objects related to criminal activity were found.
Forged documents and transaction records were also seized. This evidence helped strengthen the police investigation into the arrestees. The network used bitcoin as a means of payment. This system allowed them to avoid tracking transactions.
According to the police, this method made financial tracking by the authorities more difficult.
The use of cryptocurrencies was part of the strategy to maintain anonymity in their operations.
In total, five people were arrested during the operations. The court imposed 18 months of detention on suspicion of members of the organization. The case continues to be under investigation while the relevant criminal responsibilities are being determined.
