Investigations show that these assets were obtained through criminal activities abroad and within the country, and have attempted to be "disguised" in the Albanian financial system...
Police have revealed more details about today's operation to seize the assets of Kristian Koni, a character known for his links to drug trafficking and murders in Italy. Koni is suspected of being part of the mafia organization "Camorra" and appears to have used five different identities, including the name Olsi Meta.
Earlier in the day, it was the Prosecution that announced the seizure of his assets, while the Police later issued an official statement, publishing photos and detailed data on the confiscated assets.
In total, 19 real estate properties (houses, apartments and land), 2 vehicles and 20 bank accounts registered in the name of Koni or his family members have been seized. According to the investigations, these assets are suspected to have been obtained through criminal activities at home and abroad, and then legalized in the Albanian financial system through money laundering schemes.
The prosecution emphasizes that Koni was part of a structured criminal network for drug trafficking in Italy during the years 2007–2012. During the investigations, the use of several false identities, as well as unjustified financial transactions in relation to the declared income of the persons involved, were also documented.
" According to data administered by official systems and other legal sources, numerous real estate assets, luxury vehicles and bank accounts were identified in the name of: citizen KK; citizen FM; and the legal entity 'Kriol.AL' sh.pk, with the same citizen as legal representative. In total, preventive seizure measures have been imposed on 18 real estate assets, two luxury vehicles of the Range Rover and Smart types, registered with characteristic license plates, as well as the bank accounts of natural and legal persons involved in this investigation. The assets include properties in the areas of Tirana, Bathore, Farka, Marikaj, etc. ," the Prosecution's announcement states.
