He escaped a major drug-trafficking raid by the Netherlands and Spain.
Kevin Kurti, a 37-year-old internationally wanted man, landed at Rome's Fiumicino airport on a plane from Albania. The man had escaped capture during the operation of 17 January by the Carabinieri of the Naples Investigative Unit, in execution of an order for the implementation of a precautionary measure of "prison arrest" issued by the Naples GIP, at the request of the Antimafia District Directorate, as part of the investigation conventionally called "Champions League".
Kurti is one of 29 suspects involved, in various capacities, in the large-scale importation of narcotics from the Netherlands and Spain into the most thriving drug trafficking areas in the province of Naples.
Drug trafficking was managed through encrypted conversations and telephones, initially considered "untouchable", Italian media wrote .
The 37-year-old - arrested in Durrës on the night of February 5 by the State Police, in a joint operation with the Carabinieri of the Naples Investigation Unit, with the cooperation of Interpol and Europol - was extradited to Italy today.
The investigation, as a whole, has revealed the existence and functioning of two distinct criminal organizations, operating in the Neapolitan territory, dedicated to organized drug trafficking, not functionally linked to each other, but having the same supply channel of narcotics (mainly cocaine and cannabis), managed in Spain.
Kurti arrived in Italy, accompanied by personnel from the International Police Cooperation Service. The 37-year-old was then handed over by the Albanian authorities to the Italian authorities, in execution of the decision issued by the investigating judge of the Court of Naples and was then subjected to house arrest at the disposal of the Naples DDA.
