Drug deals. This is suspected to have been the cause of the double murder of Kreshnik Çerçizaj, 41, and Armando Organja, 44, according to Greek authorities.
Neighboring media reports that the double murder yesterday evening in Athens is related to the execution of 39-year-old Edmond Papa on Friday afternoon in Tirana.
It is further said that a few days ago, a load of 700 kg of cannabis was lost, for which Edmond Papa was responsible, and they suspect that it was some kind of revenge for these executions.

According to the information transmitted by Mega in the main news bulletin, the first feeling that exists in Sigurim is that what happened in Nea Smyrni square has to do with drug trafficking and the rings that have started a "war" between them. According to the authorities, the double murder was a "message".
It is worth noting that a few days ago, a businessman from Saranda in Tirana, who was the owner of hotel complexes, was killed in cold blood. Authorities say they see a connection between the three victims.
Also, it is worth noting that the Albanian authorities reported that a few days ago a shipment of 700 kg of hashish was lost, for which the businessman killed in Tirana was responsible.
At the same time, the fear of retaliation is always open in such cases, but the authorities state that they are ready to prevent any action.
Terror and panic after the armed attack
The timing of the assassination is surprising. The hardened executioner calmly unloads the 9-round pistol on his two victims in less than 5 seconds.
Unsuspecting patrons and bystanders are startled by the sound of gunfire. One follows the other.
Some, frightened, try to defend themselves. They bow their heads, some cannot understand what exactly is happening in front of their eyes, and others run for their lives.
Security camera footage captures one of the customers getting up from the table and running towards the street with the gunman trying to escape.
"Two of my girlfriends heard the shots, ran to a shop downstairs, closed the shutters until the police came. It was chaos, everyone was running," eyewitnesses say.
She was wounded by bullets
Dy plumba kanë goditur shtyllën kurrizore dhe këmbën e një 30-vjeçareje, e cila ishte ulur pranë tavolinës së të plagosurit me motrën e saj, e cila mesa duket është infermiere.
“Veprimet kriminale si ky nuk kanë vend në sheshin e qetë të qytetit tonë, ku bashkëjetojnë harmonikisht njerëz të të gjitha moshave nga Nea Smyrni dhe komunat fqinje. Nuk do të lejojmë në asnjë mënyrë ndryshimin e këtij imazhi”, theksojnë zyra e shtypit e bashkisë së Nea Smyrni.
