Involved in drug trafficking, the operative of the Operational Forces, Ervis

The Police Surveillance Agency has arrested a police officer as he is suspected of being connected to the three persons arrested earlier, Eneo Sulejmanaj, Shkëlqim Ostreni and Ildi Begaj.

According to journalist Esido Barkaj, the operative of the Operational Forces Ervis Shkurta has long been associated with criminal groups dealing with the trafficking and sale of narcotics.

Even on Thursday evening when the anti-drugs arrested the 3 young men, Skurta was close to the scene and as soon as he saw that his colleagues intervened, he notified the other criminal group who were waiting to take the cocaine to leave quickly.

His name came out after the analysis of mobile phones where the agents found conversations between the arrested and a person named 'Visi i Pazari'.

The latter was connected to an English number in mobile applications with the arrested, where they communicated about the goods and the sums of lek. Meanwhile, checks continue to find Ervis Shkurta's mobile phone with an English number. Another person is wanted as being involved in the drug trafficking scheme.

The operative has denied being connected to criminal groups, but the evidence so far shows that he had long-standing acquaintances with criminal groups and was involved in the exchange of drugs, benefiting from large sums of money.

The role of the operative was to ensure the exchange of drugs and money between criminal groups. Not only that, but Skurta is suspected of having acquaintances and connections with Ervis Martinaj's criminal gang. Soon he is accused of trafficking and sale of narcotics carried out in cooperation.
