The State Police has issued an official announcement regarding the arrest of Ergys Agas, one of the persons wanted in the framework of the AKSHI file.

Former police officer Uljan Shpataraku was arrested along with him.

"The Durrës Local Police Directorate and the operational structures of the General Directorate of the State Police, in cooperation with the Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK), finalized the operation codenamed "The wanted". As a result of the operation, citizen EA, who was wanted by SPAK, was captured in Durrës. As part of the operation, the U. S. citizen, who was traveling in the same vehicle with the wanted person E. A., was also captured and arrested ," the police said.

Agasi was initially spotted by the Operational Force in Elbasan and then the pursuit continued from Peqin, Rrogozhina and Durrës, where he was arrested in the Plepa area together with Shpatarak.

On August 6, Uljan Shpataraku was declared wanted by the Himara Police. The former police officer, one of the closest people to the former police chief Ilir Proda, was reported by employees of a hotel in the Dhërmi area who claimed that they had been threatened and intimidated by Shpataraku. After a verbal argument, the employees claimed that he had threatened them with their lives.

On May 20, Shpataraku was expelled from the State Police by order of Director Skënder Hita, after previously being suspended. Shpataraku held the position of assistant in the Department of Information Technology at the State Police.

Also under investigation for the AKSHI file are the former director of the institution, Mirlinda Karçanaj, and businessman Ermal Beqiraj, arrested a month ago in France.

The suspects have been charged with several criminal offenses, including organized criminal group, illegal competition through violence, illegal deprivation of liberty, violation of equality in tenders, and money laundering.
