Twenty years ago, in February 2006, Great Britain woke up to the news of what would be described as the biggest money heist in its history.

At the warehouse of the security company Securitas in Tonbridge, Kent, an organized group managed to take over 53 million pounds in cash, in an operation that would later be described by the court as " carried out with military discipline ."

A cold plan, thought out in detail

The event took on dimensions as if it were a movie set! The warehouse manager was kidnapped along with his family, while masked and armed robbers entered the premises where large sums of money were stored and were being prepared to be distributed to ATMs.

Within a few hours, they filled the vehicles with money and disappeared.

However, not all of the stolen money managed to disappear without a trace.

British police were able to recover about £21 million. But another £32 million was never found, and to this day, two decades later, it remains one of the UK's greatest criminal mysteries.

Two young people from Tropoja at the center of the case

A few weeks after the robbery, investigations also revealed the involvement of two Albanians from Tropoja, immigrants to Britain: Jetmir Bucpapa and Ermir Hysenaj. Their role was revealed during the trial at the Old Bailey Criminal Court in London.

According to the prosecution, Ermir Hysenaj was employed in the very warehouse where the money was organized before being distributed to the ATMs. He was described during the trial as the "inside man" of the group.

Hysenaj had filmed the entrances and exits, the alarm systems, and had drawn up a detailed floor plan of the warehouse with a hidden camera.

A map written by him, with precise data on the internal structure, was presented as key evidence in court.

This information, according to the indictment, was passed on to his fellow countryman Jetmir Bucpapa , who at the time was working as a security guard in nightclubs in Kent and had acquaintances with well-known organized crime figures in the area.

After a trial lasting several months, Bucpapa was sentenced to life imprisonment and served 18 years behind bars, while Hysenaj was sentenced to 20 years in prison. At the end of their sentences, both were deported to Albania.

Life after prison and the British tabloid's story

On the 20th anniversary of the robbery, the British tabloid The Sun dedicated a special article to Jetmir Bucpapa's new life after returning to Albania.

According to the article, a year after the deportation he got married and has two children from this marriage. But the marriage did not last.

Today, the newspaper writes, he has separated from his wife and has started a new romance with the daughter of an Albanian millionaire.

The Sun also describes his personal transformation. When he returned to Albania, the article says, he was shy and filled with fear as a result of his long years in prison.

Now, two decades after the robbery that shocked Britain, he appears in Tirana's nightclubs alongside his new girlfriend, with a much more exposed profile, like a true "playboy".

The mystery that was never solved

Although the perpetrators were identified, tried and convicted, the shadow of the missing £32 million continues to hang over this file.

Were they invested in other criminal activities?

Were they hidden in accounts abroad?

Or do they remain buried somewhere, like a secret that only a few know?
