Six Charged with Plotting a Murder and Armed Attacks on Businesses

The Special Prosecution Office of the Republic of Kosovo has filed an indictment with the Basic Court in Pristina against six people suspected of being part of an organized criminal group that intended to commit an aggravated murder and attack businesses.

The defendants, A.H., D.R., D.M., F.Q., Sh.K. and R.B., are charged with “Participation in or Organization of an Organized Criminal Group,” “Preparatory Acts for Aggravated Murder,” “Unauthorized Ownership, Control or Possession of Weapons,” “Forgery of Documents” and “Unauthorized Possession of Narcotics, Psychotropic Substances or Analogues.”

The indictment states that, from December 2024 to February 2025, the defendants operated as an organized criminal group, drawing up a plan and taking steps to murder a person.

They are also suspected of preparing attacks using firearms and explosive devices against businesses linked to the injured parties. According to the Special Prosecution Office, these actions were intended to cause material damage, intimidate the victims and demonstrate the criminal group’s power.

According to the indictment, each of the six defendants had a specific role in carrying out the plan, whose execution was prevented by the authorities’ investigative actions.

The Special Prosecution Office said it would continue its efforts to combat organized crime and bring to justice all those suspected of serious criminal offenses.
