The court leaves Gentian Malindi in prison, he ordered 137 kg of cocaine from

The Court against Corruption and Organized Crime has jailed Gentian Malindi, who was arrested for trafficking 137 kg of cocaine from Latin America to Albania. Malindi was captured after 3 years on the run. He was arrested by the Tirana Police in Vorë. Gentian Malindi was declared wanted for the amount of 137 kg seized in 2019 in Durrës.

The 46-year-old man was caught by the blues while driving in a single vehicle. At the time of the arrest, Malindi showed the police officers forged identification documents.

The Special Court had assigned the security measure "arrest in prison" to him, as he is suspected of being a member of a criminal group that would traffic to Albania, 137 kg of cocaine, seized in 2019.    

During the arrest, sums of money, forged identification tools and 3 mobile devices were found and seized from Malindi.

The arrest of the 46-year-old is a follow-up to the Kuito operation finalized in 2019, where a load of cocaine was seized. The discovery of 137 kg of drugs was made in cooperation with the Greek authorities, in coordination with the DEA office in Athens.

After the presence of cocaine was discovered in the port of Piraeus in Greece, the investigators decided to make a controlled delivery to Albania, where Altin Myslihaka and Ardian Bega were handcuffed, respectively sentenced to 15 and 12 years and 6 months in prison by the GJKKO.
