Investigations against the criminal group consisting of official police traffickers and former senior police officials brought to light 4 cases of narcotics trafficking that this group had attempted to carry out but the loads were seized by the authorities.
Specifically, the seizure in January 2021 of 446 kg of cocaine in the Netherlands originating from Brazil, in February of the same year 69 kg of cocaine, which was seized in Brazil and 166 kg of marijuana and 250 kg of cocaine in Germany.
The movement of cocaine was made from South America through refrigerated containers that transported meat or concentrated lemon juice. The drugs were provided by a contact who, according to SPAK, is unidentified, but the suspicions are that he is Ergys Dashi, who was executed in January last year in Gyajakil.
Between Ismail Zeneli with the nickname Dajo, Eralbi Breçani with the nickname Toni, Besmir Murtati with the nickname "Kuksi" in the role of the orderer and financier of the narcotic substance, there are frequent communications about how they will bring the drug to Europe. The route they choose as the safest is to hide packages of cocaine on the floor of the container. Other times the ceiling or even the engine part of the container is selected. But for smaller amounts, passing with bags is also mentioned. Very often the word "drops" is mentioned, which means a smaller amount of cocaine that can pass unnoticed at ports and airports.
The weeks-long wait for the drugs to pass through various ports is accompanied by concern not only from the state but also from rival groups that can steal the drugs, which have a significant value and have invested in certain percentages that vary from 20 to 30% of all group members.
But as in any business, there was a bargain in the cocaine market. If they ordered more than 300 kg, they had to pay 20% of the advance value to wholesalers, while if they ordered less, they had to pay 25%.
Decision-making in this initiative has Ismail Zeneli whom both Besmir Murtati and Eralb Breçani respect because of his experience in this field.
Both costs and profits in this business were huge. The investigation revealed that the money obtained from the sale of cocaine was laundered in a company based in Spain through the Hawala system, which functions as a banking entity but does not physically move money. In one case, drug money worth 500,000 euros was brought to Albania and exchanged between two strangers in the lobby of a hotel in the middle of Tirana./ Top Channel
