An Albanian has been declared innocent after being arrested for drug trafficking in Italy 15 years ago. Italian media reported that the 41-year-old Albanian was arrested in September 2008 by the Guardia di Finanza, accused of involvement in drug trafficking, along with three other Albanians.

According to the theory of the Italian prosecution, the 41-year-old had been the recipient of over 12 kilograms of cocaine together with another Albanian.

In a session held in the last few days in Rimini to retry the case, the Albanian in his testimony had emphasized that he did not remember what he had talked about on the phone with the other Albanian, but he stated that he had nothing to do with the traffic of drugs, but only met and went to the disco with him.

Meanwhile, after 15 years, the judges declared the Albanian innocent and acquitted him of drug trafficking charges.
