"Family business" for drug trafficking, 5 Albanians are sentenced to

The Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki has sentenced 5 Albanians, four related to each other, to life imprisonment.

The court sentenced the leader of the group, Arjan Xhafaj , from Cakran i Fier, his wife  Lutmira Xhafaj, 43, owner of a coffee bar in Cakran, as well as the two grandsons of the 52-year-old, Avelino Feimi and  Klevis Muskaj , as well as a 36-year- old year-old Ilirian Baraj, who has Greek citizenship, but is of Albanian origin.

They were arrested last September after being caught with 585 kg of cocaine in Thessaloniki.

This was the largest amount of cocaine seized in the city and one of the largest in Greek territory.

The drug originating in Latin America would bring profits of 11 to 33 million if it ended up in the wholesale market, while in the retail market the profit could reach up to 175 million euros.

The Nazi swastika symbolized by some of the 500 confiscated packages of cocaine ( others had the logo of a car manufacturing company ).

Me përjashtim të 43-vjeçares, i cila mohoi akuzat, shqiptarët e tjerë rrëfyen përfshirjen e tyre, por theksuan se menduan se në pakot kishte hashash.

They also stated that they themselves were simple transporters and that they would leave the drugs "locked up" in two houses, where another person, whose identity is not disclosed, would take them.

"If I had known it was cocaine, I would have left. I thought it was hashish," said the 52-year-old, stating that he had worked for 18 years as a firefighter in Albania.

Drug seizure operation

The Greek police in cooperation with the American DEA seized on September 26, 2023, during an anti-drug operation, 585 kg of cocaine in Thessaloniki.

The operation took place around 5:40 p.m., when the Greek police initially stopped a vehicle in Thessaloniki, which turned out to be rented, whose driver was 21-year-old Klevis Muskaj from Cakran i Fier.

In his vehicle, the Greek police seized 239 packages with 280 kg 758 grams of cocaine. 10 minutes later, an attempt was made to stop another vehicle in the "Neous Epibates" area. The driver of the vehicle, in an attempt to leave, crashed into a police vehicle and then crashed into the perimeter of a school.

He was identified as Avelino Feimi, 33 years old, from Vlora. The two drivers are Arjan Xhafaj's grandsons.

The Greek police continued with the search in Xhafaj's apartment, where they seized 23 packages with 26 kg 701 grams of cocaine, 1 metal detector, 12 IKEA bags, 1 metal cutter, 1 pack of disposable gloves, 1 pair of professional scissors.

Apart from him and his wife, Ilirian Baraj, 35 years old from Fieri, with Greek citizenship, was also arrested in the apartment.

During the body search of the arrested, 7440 euros, 7 mobile phones, 4 bank cards and hand notes were found and seized.
