Kosovo accepts the request for the extradition of the drug "baron", Gëzim Çela

The authorities in Kosovo have accepted the request for the extradition of the much wanted justice, Gëzim Çela.

Considered a drug "baron", wanted by SPAK as part of the large anti-drug operation "flames at sea", Çela will be extradited to Tirana with a simplified procedure, announces the Albanian Ministry of Justice.

Notice of the Ministry of Justice:

"Citizen Gezim (Gëzim) Çelaj alias Çela, son of Xhemal and Fatima, born on 04.07.1968, in Krujë, will be extradited from Kosovo to Albania.

His extradition will be carried out with a simplified procedure, and following the communication on this request for extradition, the Ministry of Justice of Kosovo, with the email dated 26.02.2024, forwarded the notification of the Kosovar justice authorities on decision No. 05179662, dt. 11.01.2024 of the Basic Court in Ferizaj/Kosovo, for allowing the simplified extradition of this citizen, because this citizen has given his consent to be extradited to Albania.

The request for the extradition of the aforementioned citizen is based on:

-Decision No. 110, dated 08.10.2023 of the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime, for assigning to him the security measure "Arrest in prison", for committing the criminal offenses "Trafficking of narcotics" committed in cooperation, in the form of the structured criminal group "Structured criminal group" and "Commitment of criminal offenses by the structured criminal group", provided by articles 283/a, 28, 333/a and 334 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania.

-Decision No. 102, dated 30.09.2015 of the Court of First Instance for Serious Crimes in Tirana, amended by Decision No. 121, dated 07.12.2015, of the Court of Appeal for Serious Crimes for his sentence of 10 years and 8 months in prison, for committing the criminal offenses "Trafficking in narcotics", carried out in collaboration, "Production and sale of narcotics" , carried out in cooperation with "Illegal possession and production of weapons, explosive weapons and ammunition", provided by articles 283/a/2, 2283/2, 278/3 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania."

But who is Gëzim Çela?

Çela is known as the "boss of drug trafficking" who came from Turkey, through Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania, towards Kosovo and Western countries.

In 2015, Çela was accused of international cocaine trafficking.

A quantity of 18 kg of cocaine was found in his villa in Fushë Kuqe.

In June 2014, the Albanian and Kosovar police destroyed a structured criminal group that trafficked hard drugs from Turkey to Western Europe, including through Albanian territory.

Gëzim Çela is accused of the criminal offenses of "Trafficking in narcotic substances", committed in collaboration and "Production and possession of weapons without permission", as well as exploitation of prostitution. He was previously subject to the OFL as he was able to escape justice.

Today's mega-operation is the continuation of the one a few months ago at sea, where a ton of cannabis was caught in a sailing ship that was trying to be trafficked.

The arrest warrants come as part of the police operation codenamed "Flame at Sea", which was a collaboration with the US DEA and the Guardia di Financa. The group was hit while the drug exchange was taking place.

The traffickers, when they found the police forces, set the ship on fire in the middle of the sea. The police arrested 4 Albanians and 2 Ukrainians in the operation a few months ago in the middle of the sea.

Çela was released from prison a few years ago with the argument that he was suffering from a serious illness. Then he was arrested for falsifying the medical card and was put under "house arrest". But when the police surrounded Çela's house in Mamurras, he was not there.

Today's mega-operation is the continuation of the one a few months ago at sea, where a ton of cannabis was caught in a sailing ship that was trying to be trafficked.

Meanwhile, the investigations are still continuing for the seizure of the real estate of the persons involved in this drug trafficking.
