The joint investigations made it possible to identify and prosecute in France and Albania 19 persons (Albanian citizens and foreigners), who were involved in illegal criminal activity in the field of narcotics.
Based on the investigations carried out, the defendants Redian (alias Refik) Doda, Zabit (alias Artur) Fisniku have been identified as leaders, while the defendant Fabi Isaku, and the other associates prosecuted and tried in France had the role of assistants.
