Journalist Artan Hoxha

Journalist Artan Hoxha spoke about Gëzim Çela, the former officer, who was recently declared wanted by the police for drug trafficking, the details of which the head of the State Police, Muhamet Rrumbullaku, gave this afternoon in a press conference within the framework of the "Flames in the Sea" operation.

Hoxha said that Çela is not easily caught as he has strong ties to the state and has participated in electoral campaigns.

Invited to the show "The Unexposed" with journalist Ylli Rakipi, the journalist said that Çela has given money and supported politicians with votes, as well as made armored cars available to them.

" Gëzim Çela was initially accused by the Italian police of prostitution, drug trafficking, and there was also talk of the murder of two carabinieri. At that time, the Italian court declared him wanted, his arrest in Albania became possible, but he convinced the court that he was suffering from an incurable disease and was released, and after he was released from prison, he escaped and was arrested in Turkey in 2006 for drug trafficking, spent 6 years in prison there and then they sent him to Rinas, but he still managed to be released.

Gëzim Çela is not one of those types that you can catch easily, only from Africa he has not been punished because he is done with the rest. He has strong ties to the state. He participated in electoral campaigns, gave them money, supported them in the votes and made armored cars available to them. From 2003 until today, he should have died several times, with the disease he used to be released from prison, but he is not only alive but has continued his activity", said Hoxha./ CNA
