inquiry
Criminal proceedings no. 36/2019 were investigated within the framework of a Joint Investigation Team with the Anti-Mafia District Prosecutor's Office in Bari, Italy. The joint investigations revealed the activity of a structured criminal group, mainly composed of Albanian and Italian citizens, with the aim of international drug trafficking. The criminal group operated from Albanian territory with branches in Italy, organizing the import and distribution of large quantities of cocaine and other narcotics coming from South America to European Union countries. The proceeds from the illegal drug trafficking activity were transported by international passenger bus drivers. This was to make it difficult for them to sleep, as well as to avoid legal obligations or the payment of taxes that are an obligation to declare their source.
From the acts administered within the framework of criminal proceedings no. 36 of 2019 and their investigative data, it results that the defendants have communicated on the SkyEÇ platform for a short period of time.
