New details have been revealed from the international anti-drug operation developed by the Albanian police in cooperation with the Italian Guardia Di Financa and the American DEA.
Journalist Xhensila Kodra reports that the 4 rafts left on Tuesday afternoon from Patoku, while the sailboat left from Montenegro. More than 20 people have been taken to the police, as suspects or who have knowledge of drug trafficking, but so far, only 6 of them have been issued arrest warrants.
Among those arrested is former officer Arlind Ismailuka. Among the escorts there are also minors who were in the rafts. It is still undetermined how much the amount of drugs was in the boat because when the drivers of this vehicle noticed the presence of the police, they set it on fire.
