The arrested had monitored their targets with vehicles, after having installed hidden cameras, thus having the ability to monitor them 24 hours a day.
Details have emerged today about the crackdown on the Albanian-Greek criminal group, accused of being responsible for the attempted murder of Greek mafioso Jani Lala.
Three of them have been arrested, while a fourth Albanian is wanted. Three Greek citizens, including a woman, have also been arrested.
The Greek "FBI" has arrested Dhimitër Meci alias Dimitrios Metsis, 45 years old from Labova e Poshtme in Gjirokastra, Andrea Brokeri, 32 years old from Himara, and Fatjon Prendi alias Fatjion Prendi, 39 years old from Lezha, while Vasil Theohari, 31 years old from the village of Krongj i Finiqit, has been declared wanted.
They are accused of being the perpetrators of the incident that occurred on May 16, 2025, when the armored vehicle of 41-year-old Greek Jani Lala was shot about 50 times with firearms, but without being able to kill or injure him.
The arrested had monitored their targets with vehicles, having installed hidden cameras, thus having the opportunity to have a 24-hour view.
Specifically, they had parked an Italian-made van in front of Lala's gas station, on whose control panel they had mounted a camera.
On May 16, when Lala came out of the gas station, they saw him using the technological tools at their disposal and attacked him, shooting him with a Kalashnikov. Two weeks after the failed attempt to kill Lala at his gas station, the suspects tried again to record his movements with the same car at another gas station he had available. However, the vehicle was later spotted by a gas station employee, and the police found the hidden camera.
According to police, the same individuals had also carried out the arson attack on a gas station in Argyroupoli on February 23.
One of those arrested is Fatjon Prendi.
Prendi, currently imprisoned in Trikalla, was arrested in September of this year as part of a group from which 1.1 tons of marijuana, synthetic drugs and an arsenal of weapons were seized.
Fatjon Prendi is a well-known name in Greek law, involved in a bloody incident 13 years ago in Krioneri, Greece. Specifically, on December 7, 2012, 4 people, including Fatjon Prendi, attempted to force their way into the home of a family in Krioneri, whose daughter had just returned home, carrying the sum of 1,700 euros in her purse. The girl was inside the house when the perpetrators broke a window and entered. As soon as they saw her, they followed her and grabbed her purse, while the terrified girl ran to her parents' room, where her family was sleeping at the time, and locked herself inside with them, while also notifying the Police.
The robbers fled on foot. Police officers who rushed to the area chased them and then exchanged gunfire.
Upon hearing the shots, renowned Greek journalist Makis Triantafyllopoulos went to the scene to see what had happened and was confronted by ruthless robbers, who blocked him at gunpoint, spoke broken Greek, and took his car, in the Ekali area.
Police officers already in the area, reinforced by other mobile units, began the pursuit. A new exchange of gunfire occurred at around 04:00 in the morning, near the local cemetery, while during the pursuit, a patrol car crashed into the back of Makis Triantafyllopoulos' car, to stop the robbers.
The vehicle fell into a stream, its backside riddled with bullets from police officers pursuing the perpetrators.
The search for them continued. The perpetrators, trapped in the stream, tried to flee on foot. A police officer was injured during the exchange of gunfire.
Fatjon Prendi has served less than 10 years in prison. He was arrested on 7.12.2012 and released on parole on 11.02.2022. In 2017, while he was in Domokos prison, a knife was found in his cell. He is known as the friend of Alfons Ndoc, who was killed last year in prison in Greece and is accused of several serious crimes.
