One of the victims, Andrew Alibeaj, resulting in cocaine trafficking in Italy. He was arrested along with his brother, Andrea Alibej, in 2013, writes the Albanian newspaper.
At the time, Italian local media wrote that about 300 police officers from the province of Ast backed by the commanders of the entire Legion Piemte and Valle d'Aosta, with the help of a helicopter, organised a large anti-drug operation, bringing 31 persons, to whom arrest warrants had been issued by the tribunal.
Investigations into the organisation began in May 2011, initially against a group of small drug dealers in Asti and Turin. This allowed investigators to shed light on the illegal activity of a large cocaine group whose members were from Albania. Italian media write that the network had its Albanian members in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Great Britain.
Italian media also write that Andrew Alibej and Erion Alibej, in competition with each other, belonged to an Albanian Transanational organisation with activities between Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Turin, which had kept 15kg of cocaine hidden in various apartments, including two in Asti, to sell later in some provinces in the north and central Italy of more than 330,000.
