Genesis of the operation began after information that Walter Osmani was an organiser and the liaison person of arms trafficking, but even after the May capture of four people who were found to be trafficked weapons from Kosovo.
To whitewash the arms trafficking network, Albanian police have administered the testimony of one of those arrested in May of this year, and this information was then sent to Kosovo authorities, Abcnews.al reports.
The investigation has found that the weapons came from Turkey as separate-part sports weapons, and later in Ferizaj were modified and made firearms.
Traffickers allegedly moved Saturdays and Sundays for crossing the border to avoid control and have proved that Kosovo's firearms were often exchanged not only with money but also with cocaine.
This is the role of Eugenio Manush, arrested a few days ago in a drug operation. The investigation indicates that the latter was interested in weapons and in exchange offered cocaine.
Investigations have proved that in several episodes he and other people have gone towards Kosovo with narcotics, and in return they have brought firearms. It turns out that the exchange has been done in some cases even in the National area, where a gun was exchanged by 30 to 40 grams of cocaine.“.
