Greek authorities have handed Florjan Vuka over to Albania. Vuka, also known by the surname Vathaj, had been declared internationally wanted by the Special Prosecution.

He is considered a member of a criminal structure led by Jetmir Pepa, involved in trafficking narcotics across borders.

Immediately after arriving in the country, the defendant will be presented before the Special Court to reassess his security measure. Following a random electronic selection, the draw assigned magistrate Alma Kodraliu to preside over the hearing.

The panel is expected to examine whether to uphold the previously issued “prison arrest” order or impose a more lenient measure on Vuka.

The Special Prosecution has documented that the criminal organization extended its activity to several countries, including Latin America, Belgium and the Netherlands.

According to investigative data, the illegal activity is linked to at least eight cases of trafficking massive quantities of cocaine, carried out during the period 2019-2021.

According to SPAK’s calculations, group members are suspected of having transported a total of about 7.5 tons of this narcotic substance from the Latin American continent to European markets through several separate operations.

Meanwhile, investigations continue under the supervision of prosecutor Alfred Shehu, with the aim of fully uncovering the suspected criminal scheme and determining the individual responsibilities of each of those implicated.

“Some Albanians from Switzerland, Italy and Greece have traveled to Igoumenitsa and are coming from the south.

Belgium, France, Austria, Britain, Germany are coming from the north.

We have traveled for two full days.

This call to unite our voice is extraordinary. The launch we made from Britain was that this had to be political. We set the condition that the protest be political.

We call on Rama, the uncrowned king, because you have made a mess of it; we are here with only one condition, resign before it is too late and clear the way for an apolitical transitional government.”
