May 2021, arrested for human trafficking (released) 

On May 29, 2021, Erjon Llapushi was arrested by police after he was transporting 24 illegal immigrants who had been promised passage to EU countries in exchange for a ransom.

Such a criminal offense, namely aiding illegal border crossing in exchange for money, is punishable by up to 3 to 7 years in prison.

While many people are now in prison for this massive criminal offense in recent years, Erjon Llapushi was surprisingly free and it is not known how many days he served in prison. 

2019, Coercion for giving away property (free again)

In 2019, Erjon Llapushi, together with Saimir Fraholli, through pressure and blackmail were able to obtain 17 percent of the shares of a private company, which aims to transport passengers on the Pogradec-Korça and Pogradec-Tirana lines.

They then sold the stolen shares to another person.

The Tirana Court of First Instance for Serious Crimes has found Erjon Llapushi guilty of the criminal offense of "Coercion by threat or violence for the provision of property" committed in collaboration.

Intentional serious injury is punishable by imprisonment from three to ten years. 13 years ago, in a bar in the city of Pogradec, Llapushi injured Mariglen Topuzi, while she was standing with him.

Topuzi was shot with a gun, receiving a wound to the head and a wound to the chest below the heart. Llapushi was convicted of this criminal offense.
