The Peruvian police have announced a major crackdown on narco-trafficking, while dismantling the criminal organization known as "Rolls Royce", where 114 packages of cocaine, worth over 10 million US dollars, were seized.
The leader of the organization, identified as Nicola Berishaj, alias "Baba", is a Montenegrin citizen, who is suspected of acting as an emissary of Albanian drug traffickers.
According to Peruvian authorities, the Albanian mafia is one of the most powerful in Southeast Europe. According to the anti-drug agents, the criminal organization was ready to export the drugs through the port of Chalaco.
Among those arrested is Segundo Fernando Sangama Flores, otherwise known as "Chuy", who was responsible for storing packages of cocaine, foreign media write.
At the same time, in another area, Juan Reina Sánchez, alias Caballo, was arrested in possession of thousands of soles (Peruvian currency), euros and dollars. According to the Police, Reina Sánchez was responsible for coordinating with the Huallaga production area and the Palcazu river basin.
During the operation, they seized 1,290 euros, 3,587 dollars and more than 32,000 soles in 100 banknotes, jewelry and dozens of prepaid chips that organizations use for communication without being noticed.
The investigation also revealed that Nicola Berishaj, alias "Baba", was removed as a pastor in an evangelical church in order not to raise suspicions.
