The Special Court has imposed a prison sentence on Anti-Terrorist Police Officer Igli Haxhiaj , who was arrested after cracking down on Albanian mafia clans involved in drug trafficking from Latin America and Albania to Italy.

The hearing was held behind closed doors this Friday, while the trial panel confirmed the arrest warrant issued earlier against him in absentia.

SPAK investigations revealed that Haxhiaj, while serving in the Operational Forces, had leaked investigative secrets and had been corrupted by members of a criminal group, putting himself at their service.

The Anti-Terrorist Officer was arrested after being accused of being linked to the group targeted by SPAK in collaboration with the Italian side.

Igli Haxhiaj is suspected of several criminal offenses such as leaking investigative secrets, corruption, and abuse of office.

It is learned that in the joint action between the Brescia prosecutor's office and SPAK, the Albanian mafia was hit, which, according to Italian media, was involved in drug trafficking from Latin America and Albania to the neighboring country.

The bases were reportedly in Rovato and Palazzolo, according to Brescia Police investigations.

Drug transportation and subsequent trafficking operations were in the hands of Albanian clans.

The Italian prosecutor's office has issued 22 security measures, with 8 people arrested in Brescia. Meanwhile, a total of 49 people have been taken under investigation, 46 of whom are Albanians.

Giornale di Brescia reports that approximately 3 million euros were seized  , the proceeds from illegal activities of Albanian clans.

According to investigators, the drugs generated profits of approximately 12 million euros.  The cocaine arrived in Italy from South America, while the heroin came from Albania.

The investigation revealed that  the bus drivers were unaware that they were transporting drugs.
