Greek media, as well as police officers, have reacted harshly after the escape of two 41-year-old Albanians from the low-security Kassavetia prison.

Scandal in Greece after Albanian prisoners escape. Dangerous but kept in low security

Romeo Qosja and Lefter Toçi were both sentenced to 20 years in prison for several serious charges including complicity in murder and armed robbery, but not only were they held in an unfenced section of the prison but they had also received up to 5 leaves within the year.

"Maybe some people don't consider them dangerous, two people who killed a shop owner in Elefsina and a 75-year-old woman in her home in Aspropyrgos," a police officer who dealt with this criminal group told "Zougla".

"How is it possible for criminals with such a history to get five permits? Someone has put their signature on it and is undoubtedly responsible," the Greek media continues.

Other details have been revealed regarding the past of Albanians Romeo Qosja from Cërriku and Lefter Toçi from Bradashesh, Elbasan.

They were initially arrested on March 31, 2016, along with 5 other Albanians, including a woman, and a Greek citizen.

Among those arrested at the time was Alfons Ndoci, who was killed on June 26 of this year in Koridhalo prison.

The latter was considered a highly dangerous person in Greece, involved in several serious incidents, and even once escaped from the van transporting him to prison.

The Albanian-Greek group was then accused of the murder of a 53-year-old Greek man in Elefsina on March 12, 2015 and the robbery of his wife, the robbery and murder of a 75-year-old Greek woman on October 6, 2015 in Aspropyrgo, the robbery of a 57-year-old man on March 10, 2015 in Spata, the robbery of a 52-year-old man and the attempted robbery of a 75-year-old woman on August 15, 2015 in Aspropyrgo, the robbery of a 52- and 43-year-old couple on October 6, 2015 in Aspropyrgo, and the burning of a vehicle on March 12, 2015 in Glika Nera.

During the police search, 1 pistol, 1 revolver, 1 imitation gun, 1 carbine, 2,000 euros, jewelry, burglary tools, cell phones, and a small amount of drugs were seized.

On April 21, 2016, Qosja and Toçi were also charged with "participation in a criminal organization" and "robbery."

After serving their 18-month pre-trial detention, in September 2017 Qosja and Toçi were released with the security measure "compulsory appearance" and "ban on leaving the country".

They turned out not to have implemented the security measure, and on July 27, 2018, Lefter Toçi was arrested by the border police for "violating the security measure" and "resisting police forces", but was released again.

In addition, Romeo Qosja was also charged on May 13, 2008 with "establishing a criminal organization", "continuous robbery" and "violation of the law on weapons".

After being released on bail from prison and even a few days after Toçi's second release, specifically on August 13, 2018, the duo turned out to have committed another armed robbery, specifically against the family of a Greek businessman.

Lefter Toçi was arrested again on April 4, 2019 following a European arrest warrant, while Romeo Qosja and their associate AG were also arrested at different times.

Romeo Qosja and Lefter Toçi had been in Kassavetia prison since 2019 and were held in an unfenced area due to good behavior.

They appear to have received 5 permits during 2024.

Apparently they took advantage of their return from leave a few days ago to plan their escape.

Due to their dangerousness, Greek police have launched intensive checks throughout Greece.
