Full DailyMail article:

A wealthy Albanian, owner of several businesses in the United Kingdom, is accused of a 355 million pound cocaine trafficking scheme: the son-in-law of a glamorous politician is arrested by police along with his brother.

A wealthy Albanian with a string of businesses in Britain and a glamorous politician's father-in-law has been arrested along with his brother, accused of being involved in a £335m cocaine trafficking plot.

Klevis Hoxhosmani, 37, and his 42-year-old brother, Artur, were arrested on Saturday by Albania's organised crime squad for suspected involvement in an operation to traffic large quantities of drugs from Latin America to the UK and the EU.

Hoxhosmani is in a relationship with Kejda Ajazi, the daughter of Majlinda Bregu, 51, a former Albanian minister for European Integration who retired from parliament in 2017 and currently works for the Regional Cooperation Council. The young couple are widely known in Albania for the way they flaunt their lavish lifestyle on social media, including frequent trips to London, Dubai and Monaco, where they were recently filmed wearing designer clothes and getting out of a supercar. 

Hoxhosman's arrest has sparked speculation in Albania about the real source of the couple's wealth, a matter that has also raised interest among SPAK officers, who are overseeing the investigation that led to his arrest. Albanian prosecutors allege that Hoxhosman and his brother are part of a large international organized crime group with at least nine other members.

The gang is accused of smuggling drugs from Colombia or Ecuador, then transporting them by sea and land to Britain. They claim to be behind a 250kg haul of cocaine that was seized in France in April 2020 – suspected to be en route to Britain. Messages exchanged via an encrypted platform called Sky/ECC reveal that members of the group reacted with alarm when they realised the drugs had been intercepted.

Hoxhosman has close ties to Britain, with Companies House records linking him to three companies based in Bournemouth. He was a director of Crystal Hand Car Wash, which was set up in 2013 and closed in 2015. He was also a director of Barrack Road Tyres, a tyre repair shop in Christchurch that is now under new ownership. He is currently a director of Opa Coffee Limited, which is based in an empty shop next to Central Gardens in Bournemouth town centre.

He has a criminal record in Britain, having pleaded guilty in 2014 to assaulting a woman in Ferndown, for which he was sentenced to community service and ordered to pay £60 compensation. His brother, Arthur, owned another car wash in Ferndown, where two men, an Afghan and an Iraqi, were recently arrested for breaching their bail conditions.

According to prosecutors, the drug gang sourced the cocaine in Colombia or Ecuador. It was transported in sea containers to major European ports such as Antwerp in Belgium or Rotterdam in the Netherlands. From there, it was transported overland to France and then through the Channel Tunnel to Britain.

Prosecutors said the drugs were hidden in wooden pallets, banana crates or cocoa bags, and sometimes in cargoes of timber. The group used aliases and made payments through the informal Hawala money transfer system, which operates through trusted intermediaries.

Prosecutors Altin Dumani and Adnand Xholi stated: "The organizational structure of this criminal group, with connections on several continents and with 16 members identified so far, proves the high level of sophistication of Albanian criminal groups, their capacities and penetration into international criminal markets."

They described the gang as "hierarchical", with leaders not only ordering and financing drug shipments but also overseeing their route through Europe, before associates in destination countries, including the UK, distributed it to local distributors.

Members of the gang were located in Britain, various EU countries, Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, and according to prosecutors, they were assisted by "customs officers and port personnel."

One of the suspected members, Erion Alibej, is cooperating with prosecutors. In court, he claimed that an associate of theirs was beaten in London after losing 50 kg of cocaine.

SPAK officers have seized a luxury yacht and a fleet of cars that include a Mercedes Benz AMG G63, a Volkswagen Golf 7 and a Volkswagen Sharan. Two expensive watches, 16 mobile phones, 19 bank cards and three pistols with magazines and cartridges have also been seized.

They appeared in court a day later, where Judge Erion Bani accepted the prosecution's request to remand them in custody until trial. Two other men, Elidon Skëndaj and Ilir Lloshi, are still wanted by police. Albanian prosecutors said their investigation has been assisted by police in the United Kingdom and the EU.

“ This successful investigation led by SPAK is a direct result of close inter-institutional and international cooperation, in particular with EUROPOL, EUROJUST, EU member state agencies, as well as partner law enforcement agencies in the United Kingdom, which provided support through in-depth data analysis and effective international police coordination. This information has been key to identifying serious criminal offences, suspects and determining their role in this structured criminal group, ” the statement said./ DailyMail
