Albanian captain in Peru, considered cocaine network head towards Europe

He is suspected of being the funder and leader of a criminal gang dealing with the collection and export of cocaine to Europe. According to the investigation, Dubel used false identities with Italian citizenship to hide his activity, writes “OraNews”.

During the operation in Callao, police also arrested several collaborators and seized 98 cases of cocaine. Investigations uncovered an organised network that included transporting drugs from various areas, as well as co-ordinating groups in Colombia to secure export from major ports.

According to international reports, Albanian and Balkan criminal networks have been active in Latin America since the late 1990s, co-operating with producers and local cartels. These groups play an important role in supplying the European market with cocaine, while investigations into the case follow.
