Major strike against Italian-Albanian drug trafficking network: 52 suspects targeted

With the active assistance of Eurojust, the authorities in Italy and Albania have dealt a major blow to three linked organised crime groups (OCGs) involved in large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering. During a joint action day, arrest warrants were issued against 52 suspects, including individuals believed to be at the highest levels in the hierarchies of the OCGs. Eurojust supported the cooperation by setting up a joint investigation team (JIT) into the case.
