Alket Verushi

A mega-trial dubbed ' Sky ECC ' against an Albanian criminal organization continues in Namur, Belgium. According to Belgian media, the trial is nearing its conclusion.

Fourteen years in prison, a €120,000 fine and seizures of over two million euros... It is an understatement to say that Alket Verushi is risking a lot at the center of the "Sky ECC" trial, which is taking place before the Namur court.

The Albanian, arrested in Spain, is suspected of being the head of a criminal organization highly active in the cultivation of cannabis, as well as in the trade of soft and hard drugs almost throughout the country.

"Fourteen years is an eliminatory sentence, it's good that we escaped!" said lawyer Ricardo Bruno, the representative of the first defendant.

"He's not some wild beast. He's taken responsibility, but he's also had a lot of things unfairly placed on his shoulders."

Lawyer Séverine Meurice, who also defends Verush, emphasized that her client was more of a "jack of all trades" in this organization than a true "boss."

"He's the one who goes to pick up gardeners at the airport, the one who is seen at recycling centers taking out cannabis waste. He gives instructions, yes, but there's no clear hierarchy," she explained.

In popular parlance, his role is seen more as that of a "mandai" (man in charge of routine tasks) than as that of a "big boss."

According to Meurice, the sentences sought are disproportionate. “For the last Sky ECC trial here in Namur, they brought out the bazooka, when in fact a plastic pellet pistol would have sufficed,” she quipped.

"Aldo, the millionaire": a cannabis "real estate agent"

Ten years in prison have also been requested for Aldo, whom the prosecution presents as a kind of "real estate agent" for cannabis plantations.

"He was criticized mainly for his expensive lifestyle. He's 'Aldo the millionaire,'" his lawyer Mevlut Turk quipped.

"He has that famous Porsche Panamera. If he had a Clio, maybe he would have had less trouble," added the other lawyer, Étienne Gras.

Aldo's lawyers pointed out the weaknesses in the case against him regarding his standard of living: "He and his wife have worked very hard their entire lives," they emphasized.

"We see him a few times near a plantation? Yes, but his mother-in-law also lives there," Grass explained.

A Rolex in his hand? " He bought it after selling his Golf ."

The money found during the search? "It was his birthday and he had received envelopes with gifts."

The defense appears to have an answer for each charge. If the innocence argument is not accepted by the court presided over by Renaud Hauquier, Gras stressed that such a sentence of 10 years would be extremely harsh.

"Are two addresses for cannabis plantations really worth ten years in prison?" he asked.

Whether the court shares the same opinion will be known in a month, when the decision is announced.

"Can cannabis grow itself?", The battle over profit amounts

One of the main aspects of the process is the money illegally earned through cannabis trafficking, amounts that have caused strong reactions.

Defense lawyers have meticulously analyzed the prosecution's calculations to determine the defendants' illegal assets. The prosecution is seeking the seizure of profits from 10 plantations destroyed in February 2024, with an alleged turnover of approximately 11 million euros.

If the seizures are approved, they will vary depending on the role of each person. For Alket Verushi, considered the "big boss", this amount could go up to 2 million euros.

"I would really like to know how you arrive at these figures," lawyer Meurice reacted, listing what she considers to be major errors in the calculations.

“It takes three months before cannabis can be harvested,” she argued.

Based on this fact, she pointed out inaccuracies regarding the periods of activity and the possible number of harvests. According to her, the real amount does not exceed 3.6 million euros, of which 700,000 euros would be charged to Verushi.

"And the best thing is the Anderlues plantation, there we found a type of cannabis that plants, grows, and harvests itself!" she said ironically.

A revolution in agriculture? No, just a miscalculation on the part of the prosecution, the lawyer emphasized.

“The defendants were already in prison during the period of activity you mention!”

Even if this argument is accepted, the final amounts are expected to remain very high. Both the amounts claimed and the severity of the defense's objections reflect the scale of this process: gigantic./ DHnet
