Seized radios

The detention of the two Britons at the Tirana airport has also received the attention of the local media.

"Mirror" writes that the two Britons are accused of espionage by Albania, and were arrested with radio transmitters in their luggage at the Tirana airport.

The two arrested persons denied espionage, claiming to be IT engineers and their equipment was amateur radio.

They were interrogated at the Tirana International Airport by the intelligence officers, then the two returned to Great Britain, but remain under investigation by the Albanian side.

According to the British media, the Albanian police confirmed that they have opened an investigation against the British vacationers on the accusations of 'espionage activities' and 'espionage'.

A source said: "It is very unusual to carry this type of equipment and even more strange for someone to be arrested and charged as an undercover agent."

The two suspects were held on May 30 and then allowed to return to the UK. However they remain under investigation, police say.

Kenaood Radios were sent to the Albanian Forensic Laboratory, where they will be carefully examined to determine their espionage skills.

The Cyber ​​Unit is assisting with the investigation together with the State Intelligence Service.

Eduard Merkaj, director of the Border Police, said: "It is an ongoing investigation and we are continuing to inspect the seized machines."

A key question investigators will want to determine is whether the devices can record or interfere with analog radio waves used by the country's military and secret service.
