The First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Elbasan has completed the review of the Prosecutor's Office's requests for the assessment of detentions and the imposition of personal security measures against 30 citizens detained during the police operation codenamed "First Day".
The detainees are mainly accused of the criminal offense of "Production and sale of narcotics", while some of them have also been charged with other charges, such as illegal possession of weapons and trafficking in contraband goods.
17 people have been placed on "Arrest in Prison" due to the high risk of reoffending or obstructing investigations.
8 people have been placed under "house arrest", with the obligation to remain isolated in their homes and at the disposal of investigations.
4 people have been placed under "Compulsory Report to Judicial Police", a milder measure, in cases where no high social risk has been identified.
1 person was released after the court rejected the prosecution's request and deemed his arrest illegal, ordering his immediate release, in the absence of other security measures.
