The accused were involved in the trafficking network that was hit during the Italian-Albanian operation, where 3.5 tons of drugs were blocked. Their criminal activity was spread in Bari, Puglia and Albania. The drugs were sent to Italy by sea, where the most widely used route was between Vlora and Puglia by ocean-going rafts. The evidence that the Italian anti-mafia and the police structures in the country have managed to provide, show that we are dealing with a powerful criminal organization based in Vlora.
