Journalist Klodiana Lala has revealed details from the latest operation to crack down on drug trafficking groups.
In a television appearance, Lala revealed that one of the operations targeted an Albanian, Ervis Çela, who had built a drug empire in the distant state of Paraguay.
Lala also shared details from the operation against Franc Çopja's organization, of which Çela was also part.
Lala said that another group is the Hoxhosmani brothers and Ermir Ndrejaj, who have had clashes between them.
"The last operation was about hitting drug trafficking groups. Ervis Çela was targeted, a person convicted of murder. He had fled to Paraguay many years ago, where he had built a drug empire. He had become the largest cocaine wholesaler there and had connections with Brazil and Colombia. His three brothers were also involved in the trafficking. They had invested the money in gold bars and cryptocurrencies, as well as buried it in olive trees. Ervis Çela returns from Paraguay after being involved in drugs, returns to his village in Peqin, gets married, has children and starts a normal life as if nothing had happened. SPAK asked the Police to arrest him and the handcuffing took place in Qeparo. He had also committed murders in Italy.
Another organization was that of Franc Çopja, one of the most dangerous organizations and their opponent was Erion Alibej. I treated the Çopja organization very well and this group had also collaborated with Ervis Çela. Fadil Balla was another character.
He was the president of the Erzeni club, with a low profile in the area and there is a suspended police officer on his case. The police waited for him to end his daughter's engagement. He left, even though the police surrounded his luxurious residence. This character received tenders in the Municipality of Shijak and other places. The criminal group laundered money, invested in bullion, in cryptocurrencies.
Another group is the Hoxhosmani and Ermir Ndrejaj brothers. During this time, there was also a new accusation against Plarent Dervishaj of the Durrës gang and Erion Alibej, for the clash with Çopjaj. Ermir Ndrejaj was known as 'Cinco'. This character lived a good part of the time on the coast, his wife was a lawyer, had a low profile and turned out to be a main character in drug trafficking and had great financial wealth. A cousin of the Hoxhosmani brothers also wanted to kill Lulzim Berisha, who was Plarent Dervishaj's brother-in-law. After 20 years, the investigation shows that Plarent Dervishaj collaborated with the Hoxhosmani brothers, who appeared with cars worth 500-600 thousand euros, and lived a luxurious life in Monaco. Another group is a person from Tepelena, Renato Muskaj, who is suspected of trafficking drugs by submarine, but we have to see how the investigations will go," Lala said./CNA
