The Special Prosecution Office has completed the investigations and has begun communicating the charges against members of the 7 criminal groups that were targeted as part of Operation "Revanshi". It is expected that after this procedure, the investigative body will go to court for a preliminary hearing.
Part of these groups, in addition to subjects with criminal records, were also identified as senior police officials, such as the director of the Lezha Police, Henerigert Mitri, or people with connections to politics, such as former MP Arben Ndoka and MP Eduard Ndreca's brother, Armando Ndreca.
Criminal groups operated in a wide territory, such as Lezha, Durrës, Kruja, Tirana, Vlora and Burreli.
As part of this operation undertaken in May 2024, 20 people were initially arrested, 14 of whom in Albania, and 6 abroad, respectively 2 in Italy, 1 in Germany, 1 in Spain and 2 in Belgium.
SPAK said it had struck Ervis Martinaj's criminal group, which, in alliance with the group led by former SP MP Arben Ndoka and in collaboration with Avdylaj's criminal group in Durrës, recruited hired killers who operated mainly in the Fushë - Krujë area and the Burrel area.
They also contacted Emiljano Shullazhi, who is in prison for carrying out the murder of Durim Bami.
The Director of the Lezha Local Police Directorate, Henerigert Mitri, organized gambling in this city, supporting and collaborating with the strategic businessman Pëllumb Gjoka, who is under arrest in the "Metamorphosis" case, and with the Head of the Illicit Trafficking and Narcotics Section of this same directorate, Klodjan Shahini, who directed the cultivation of cannabis.
SPAK has seized assets worth approximately over 4.5 million Euros, including almost 3 million Euros in cash and suitcases containing gold and watches.
