Release of the drug baron, Italian media ridicule Albanian courts

Italian media have begun mocking Albanian courts for the release of Alket Hatija. “Traffickingd heroin regularly in Italy, but the Albanian court freed it.

Now he may have escaped”, writes “Cerriere del Ticino” for Alket Hatija, 44-year-old Albanian convicted in Italy by 20 comes prison for heroin trafficking.

Hatija, who was part of the “Under the Shijak”, was released by Judge Petraq Suraj yesterday. The prosecution sought 40 days in prison, but the judge heard the lawyer release him.

This decision has become a joke in the Italian media. He was able to bring tons of drugs to Milan, lived in a house “bunker” in Berat and had armed bodyguards, but the Albanian court freed him. He may now have escaped because of that decision”, she writes further.
