Dorian Petoku, the 'king' of narcotics, escaped from the recovery community in Nola (Naples) where he had managed to transfer with a medical certificate.
The drug broker, the 34-year-old Albanian was a friend of "Diabolic" Fabrizio Piscitelli, who died in an ambush in 2019, and had relations with Salvatore Casamonica, the head of the clan that controls Eastern Rome. Petoku was sentenced to 12 years in prison as part of a criminal organization.
Raised in Lezhë, Petoku began to gain experience in the world of arms, drug and human trafficking before landing in Rome, at Ponte Milvio.
The cousin of the first of the Albanian bosses in the capital, Arben Zogu, over the years gained more and more importance in the underworld of the Italian capital. Its importance is immortalized in a photo taken on December 13, 2017 at the 'L'Oliveto' restaurant in Grottaferrata.
There are four men at the table. One is the "Frenchman", an infiltrator, next to him is Salvatore Casamonica and in front of him is "Diabolic" Piscitelli, who will be killed on August 7, 2019 in an ambush in the waterworks park. Dorian Petoku was also with them. According to what was reconstructed by the investigation, the main topic of the conversation was a truce in the conflict that had erupted between the Esposito and Spada families.
Not only that, Piscitelli, Casamonica and Petoku were also planning to transport a large amount of drugs from South America. The operation called "Low Cost Brazil" involves the arrival in Italy of 7 tons of cocaine hidden in the bags of a youth soccer team.
Arrest, community transfer and absconding
Petoku was arrested in Albania after the "Grande Raccordo Criminale" investigation. He stayed in his hometown for two years, the time needed to obtain a medical certificate certifying his drug addiction. Upon arrival in Italy, he was searched and traces of drugs were found in his hair.
While no one seems to have questioned how he got it, since he was in prison, he was found to have the same drug addiction problem. Despite the opposition of the Prosecution, he was transferred to the recovery community of Morlupo, from where he was transferred to that of Nola. However, last week, Petoku managed to escape, taking advantage of lax security measures and friendships old and new.
