Following the anti-drug operation in Berat, the police escorted dozens of women who worked in the cannabis greenhouses in Berat. It is known that the women who worked in the greenhouses were taken from the villages of Tirana and from the areas in the north of the country, being told that they would work to harvest olives.
According to the testimonies of the ladies, after they were sent to Dronovica and realized that they would not grow olives, they were threatened by Drita and Izmira Mema, mother and daughter, not to leave and continue their work.
It was also learned that the women were threatened not to tell what they were working with, even when they communicated with their relatives they had to say that they were picking olives. While some of the boys said that they worked in Montenegro as construction workers.
