A few days ago, as a result of a mega-operation between the USA, Spain and the Netherlands, several people were imprisoned, among them an Albanian, who controlled drug trafficking in 15 different countries.
The latter was also planning the construction of an underwater drone for transporting large quantities of cocaine from Latin America to Europe.
The Albanian citizen has been identified as Ylli Didani , 45 years old, from the village of Janjar in Saranda, a resident of Illinois for years.
He was arrested in 2021 at the Chicago airport while coming from Albania.
According to Dutch media, he planned to build an "underwater drone" to transport cocaine from South America to Europe.
He is responsible for the amount of 1.1 tons of cocaine seized in Bilbao in 2020.
The "Bandi-Hammer" operation took place in the last few days and led to the arrest of 3 people in Spain and 2 in the Netherlands.
The arrested were discovered from conversations investigated for months in the decrypted PGP chats system.
From a search at the National Business Center, it appears that Ylli Didani founded a mining company "US-MINERAL" in 2013, with offices in Vlora, Selenica, and was its owner with 100% of the capital. In 2021, the Albanian police seized a unit from Didan
