New details from the "Flame at Sea" operation have come to light. It is suspected that more than a ton of cannabis sativa narcotics was sent from the Patok Lagoon.
Meanwhile, in the courtroom for setting security measures for the 6 arrested, the prosecutor of the case, Vladimir Mara, claimed that hashish would be exchanged for the same amount of money as heroin and cocaine.
The investigators have doubts that the ship which was burned by the two Ukrainian citizens and sunk in the sea, started from Turkey, stopped in Greece, Montenegro and then in the neutral waters between Albania and Italy where the exchange of drugs would take place.
The four arrested Albanians and two Ukrainians have not accepted the accusations of the Prosecutor's Office. They have denied having anything to do with drug trafficking. SPAK will request information in Turkey, Greece and Montenegro about the sailing vessel named "Nilua" in order to discover the other persons involved in this case.
During the operation, the police and SPAK seized two pistols, cartridges, about 50 thousand euros and 23 kg of cannabis that were thrown into the sea by the suspects.
