Albania issues arrest warrants for Vlora organized crime network
Albania issues warrants for eight suspects in a major organized crime probe linked to murder, international drug trafficking, and money laundering in Vlora.
Albania’s Special Prosecution against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) has issued arrest warrants for eight individuals tied to an alleged criminal network in the coastal city of Vlora. The probe, based on decrypted SkyECC communications and other investigative measures, links the suspects to murders, international drug trafficking, and money laundering. Investigators allege ties to the 2021 killing of Gentjan Qarri and another foiled murder plot in Vlora. Evidence also uncovers large‑scale cocaine shipments intercepted in Europe, severely impacting the group’s operations.
