The Greek police have destroyed a criminal organization, some of whose members were Albanians. Members of this criminal organization imposed fines on premises, committed explosions, arson, bodily harm, forgery, theft and drug trafficking.
They were active in different areas of Athens, providing "protection" to the premises, extorting various amounts of money from their owners on a weekly or monthly basis.
Also, it was found that the members of the criminal organization, in addition to the security of the premises, intervened in any incident that could happen between customers, but also mediated in the resolution of personal disputes or between persons, by means of the threat or use of violence in the name of the "Chief their ".
In order to dismantle the criminal organization, in the morning hours of July 14, 2024, a coordinated police operation was carried out, during which 17 people were arrested, of which 3 are already in custody.
The Greek police, among 17 people, have also handcuffed the Albanian citizen Xhorxhi Gjoka, 43 years old, while they have communicated arrest warrants to the Albanians Evis Shyti, 40 years old, Geni Cato, 37 years old from Përmeti and Marsel Stafaj, 36 years old from Tirana. Shyti and Cato were arrested in April of this year as the perpetrators of placing a quantity of explosives on "Skylitsi" street in Piraeus on March 8 of this year. Since the arrest, Shyti is in custody in Trikalla, while Cato is in Nafplio. Meanwhile, Marcel Stafaj, known as "Majk", was arrested in May of this year after the seizure of a shipment of 210 kg of cocaine from Panama in Piraeus. Together with him, two other Albanians were also arrested.
During the search of Xorxhi Gjoka's apartment, 240 euros, 3 mobile phones, 1 metal stick, as well as 1 "Seat" vehicle and a "Honda Varadero" motorcycle were seized. The arrested Albanians turned out to be participants in some of the episodes discovered by the Greek police.
From the prosecution's investigations so far, 78 fines against premises, 5 arsons, of which 1 in a vehicle, 1 explosion in fuel and 1 in a house, as well as 1 case of bodily injury, have been revealed, while during the investigations carried out, among other things, found an arsenal of weapons, quantities of narcotics and large sums of money.
What is alarmingly noted as their special characteristic is the occasional participation of members of the criminal organization in incidents between fans of a football team, such as those that occurred last Saturday outside the stadium in "Leoforos Aleksandras", either in in exchange for some benefits, or for sovereignty, or to cause "harm" to members of another criminal organization, which participated in the group's specific incidents.
According to the Greek police, based on the entire scope of the criminal activity of this organization, it becomes clear that its members consistently and firmly aimed to replace the social role and official duties of the Greek Police, with a clear aim and purpose, that blackmailed parties to refer to the criminal organization "for the solution of any issue" and not to the Greek police.
