A guard at the high-security prison in Fushe Kruja has been arrested after attempting to smuggle 22 cell phones, cocaine, and chargers.

During the shift change, the employee identified as Hidër Çali threw the bag with cell phones onto the terrace to put it in the cell.

Police Announcement:

In Fushë-Krujë, operational intelligence in the prison system has prevented an attempt to introduce prohibited items, specifically mobile phones and narcotics, which were destined for the cells of convicts and detainees. 

The basic role employee, H.Ç., during the change of services, actively threw a black bag weighing about 6 kg onto one of the terraces of the external regime, with the intention of later introducing it into the internal regime. 

Immediately after the incident was reported, the area was cordoned off and the scene was secured for initial investigation. The Internal Prison Control Service (IPCS) and the Fushë-Krujë Police were immediately notified. After the relevant authorities arrived, the packages were opened and inside were found: 

- 22 mobile phones with related accessories (chargers, headphones) 

- 3 doses of cocaine 

- 30 Android to iPhone charger adapters 

The packages were found dumped on the terrace above the weapons depot, near the gas depot and under Guardhouse No. 1. 

Regarding this event, the General Directorate of Prisons, in cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office of the relevant jurisdiction, are conducting investigative actions with the aim of fully clarifying and documenting the circumstances and other possible perpetrators. 

As a result of the investigations so far, the basic role employee, H.Ç., has been arrested in flagrante delicto for the criminal offenses of "Introducing prohibited items in collaboration" and "Production and sale of narcotics in collaboration". 

This case once again confirms the vigilance of operational intelligence in Albanian prisons, which continues to play a key role in preventing the introduction of prohibited items into prison institutions.
