Acting Minister of Internal Affairs Jedal Svecla has reacted after the anti-drug operation — Hetanty — during which six suspected people were arrested, including former Culture Minister Astrit Haraqija.
Through a Facebook post, Svechla has welcomed the joint action of the Kosovo Police, the Kosovo Agency for Intelligence and Prosecutors, which resulted in the crackdown on an organised criminal group allegedly dealing with trafficking and cocaine distribution in the Pristina region, writes Insander.
The code-named operation ‘%s’, through which six suspected persons were arrested and seized about 1.6kg of cocaine, other narcotic substances, including marijuana and ecstasy, as well as assets worth a total of about 301 thousand euros, testify the importance of interinteristal co-operation and professional investigations in fighting organised crime, Svecla has written.
Operation Macedonia has taken place on November 14th in the Pristina region, following a long period of investigation and implementation of separate investigative measures.
Besides cocaine and other narcotics substances, police have seized six luxury cars, about 16 thousand euros of cash, expensive clocks, weapons, ammunition and other equipment.
The overall value of seized narcotics and property is estimated at around 301m euros.
In addition to Haraqia, among those arrested, Stanovci lives, Albana Xhemajli-Ramadani, Alban Maloku, Gezim Feka and Baftije Feka are among them. The latter was arrested later, after initially being declared in search of police. /Insander.org/
