Actor Mishel Prela was arrested today after being caught driving his vehicle while intoxicated, under the influence of narcotics and without a driver's license, endangering the lives of officers who attempted to stop him after the 40-year-old was caught performing dangerous maneuvers on the road.

Some may remember Prela as the lead actor in the film "Saimir" which made him quite famous in the art world. But his name turns out to be quite well-known in the underworld as well.

It turns out that Prela was previously sentenced to prison.

In 2017, he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt near the 'Partizani' school in Tirana. Two bullets from the assassination attempt on him grazed his body, but did not endanger his life.

Investigations conducted against Prela reveal that in 2014, he raped his stepfather in the apartment where his mother also lived, claiming that the latter owed him money.

At that time, in collaboration with his friend Prela, he broke household furniture and took the television with him to sell.

Meanwhile, today, actor Mishel Prela was arrested after endangering the lives of police officers at "Willson Square".
