A joint operation between SPAK and the anti-mafia structures of Bari has led to the crackdown on a criminal group with activity in Albania and Italy.
At a joint press conference with the Bari prosecutor, SPAK Chief Prosecutor Klodian Braho announced that during the investigations, around 1 million euros in cash, as well as other assets suspected to be the product of criminal activity, were seized.
" It is a pleasure for me to be in Bari today to communicate the investigative results of the joint operation between the General Prosecutor's Office and the Bari Anti-Mafia. This operation is the result of joint cooperation. Following the investigations regarding this matter, 15 security measures have been imposed, 10 of which were issued by the Special Court of First Instance in Tirana. During the preliminary investigations, a total of 1 million euros in cash were seized and by the Special Court, following the request of the Prosecutor's Office, other assets, commercial companies, vehicles, bank accounts, suspected of originating from criminal activities, were seized.
This result and this team do not come as a result of an empty field, but the continuation of a previous cooperation between the Bari police and SPAK. I would like to mention some previous operations, in which around 170 people were criminally convicted and 145 of them were given significant sentences, 12-15 years in prison.
"On behalf of SPAK, I would like to express my appreciation to the Italian authorities, in particular the Bari Prosecutor's Office, the specialized anti-mafia structures, Eurojust, and all the investigators who have contributed to the results of this investigation and previous investigations. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Albanian State Police Directorate," Braho said, among other things.
Meanwhile, earlier the Bari prosecutor said: "We have discovered several criminal events. A murder. A collaboration between mafia groups. A murder recorded in the Puglia region in Italy that in a way shows the expansion of the Albanian mafia in our territory. As well as the measures that SPAK has taken to seize money and property. We have done a very good job with SPAK. We thank them for the arrest of a person who was wanted in Albania and Italy. Thanks also to Eurojust, a collaboration has lasted for 10 years and will continue to cooperate. We are convinced that Albania will manage to fight its mafia with its forces and we will stand by it. We will have mutual cooperation ."
