The two employees of the Port of Durrës, arrested by the police for the discovered load of 33.5 kg of cocaine, reduced the power of the scanning device. This suspicion raised by the investigation group comes after the analysis that the scanner made of the banana container of "BanaKing" coming from Ecuador, did not reveal any trace of the narcotic substance that was hidden inside the banana boxes.
Despite the fact that the scanner did not detect the presence of cocaine, the Durrës Police carried out detailed checks on the containers, based on the risk posed by cargo coming from Latin America. The control with anti-drug dogs also revealed the amount of 33.5 kg of cocaine.
The captured drug led to the imprisonment of two employees of the scanner at the Port of Durrës, Alban Naziraj and Artur Sevdaraj. Even the administrator of the company, Ziko, Petrit Demishaj, did not escape the arrest. Its president, Trifon Murataj, was declared wanted.
The company that ordered the bananas, Zico sh.pk or as it is known by the brand "BanaKing" of the businessman who lives in the USA Trifon Murataj, claims that on October 19, or 9 days before the container's arrival in Durrës, it requested a detailed inspection of the cargo from the police, as according to her, the Ecuadorian media had written that the containers could have been used to introduce drugs by the drug trafficking groups operating there, TV Klan reports.
