The head of SPAK, Klodian Braho, revealed details in the joint press conference regarding the operations conducted in Albania and Italy.
SPAK has seized movable and immovable assets of the family members and associates of Igli Kamberi and Ergys Kastrati, the main figures of the criminal group targeted by SPAK and the Antimafia of Bari, with activities in the field of money laundering, which are suspected of having their source in drug trafficking and were sent from Italy to Albania.
At a joint press conference with the Bari prosecutor, the head of SPAK announced that during the investigations, around 1 million euros in cash, as well as other assets, 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.
The members of the criminal group were arrested by foreign authorities, mainly in Italy, as part of international cooperation between law enforcement agencies. They are suspected of the criminal offense of "money laundering within the framework of a structured criminal group."
They also face other charges related to organized criminal activity.

Na interesojne konfiskimi i pasurive te vjedhura nga politikanet dhe qeveritaret e ketij vendi. Duket sikur tashme ata kane marre edhe premtimin ruaj , se do mbeten te paprekshem dhe do vazhdojne te vjedhin sa te jene ne pushtet hordhite qe shkojne prapa dyshes Rama Berisha. Ato listat e pasurive te konfiskuara nuk na interesojne shume, pasi jo vetem jane abstrakte per popullin e thjeshte, por dhe nuk e dime se ku vene me pas dhe sa u kthehen nga gjykatat.
