Xhevdet Troplini and Ilir Meta

As warned by the General Director, Gledis Nano, the State Police has continued at all times the checks to apprehend wanted persons. RENEA staff exercised controls yesterday in the cities of Durrës, Fier and Korça.

The controls were exercised in the business of Xhevdet Troplini, otherwise known in Durrës by the nickname "Poja" and filed by the police for criminal events. The controls were exercised due to the murder of Arben Mërkuri. The 48-year-old who was executed on Wednesday, May 18 in Sukth is suspected of having had relations with Xhevdet Troplin. Investigators have strong suspicions that Mercury may have been involved in the events commissioned by Xhevdet Troplini, and are conducting a series of investigations in this direction to move towards the possible elucidation of the perpetrators of the May 18 execution of 48-year-old Mercury. But Mercury was also known for his friendship with Landi Muharremi, Rumi e Shijakut, with whom he recently, according to sources, had a conflict and did not associate with each other.

The victim Arben Mërkuri owns a 3-storey building, a stationery shop, a market in Sukth, a shop he had not yet opened, as well as a poultry company.

Three perpetrators were when shot in the direction of the 48-year-old, the driver, a person who executed the 48-year-old and another who kept him under surveillance for a long time, waiting for the "ideal" moment to execute him. Two of them were captured by security cameras, in black masks, which made it difficult to identify them. Mercury as soon as he got out of his car was shot with volleys of bullets as he tried to escape by entering the premises of the store. This did not help as one of the perpetrators pursued him severely injuring him. 12 automatic cartridges were found at the scene. Arben Mërkuri alias Ismaili died at the hospital as a result of serious injuries.

Who is the drug boss in Durrës who had lunch with Meta

Xhevdet Troplini is a well-known name in Durrës, whose 'Jeep' armored car was seized by OFL. Troplini, arrested for drug trafficking in 2006, owns several businesses, including a restaurant in the parking lot of which Gazmir Çollaku was abducted. He has been involved and suspected in several criminal events in Durrës, but at no point has his guilt been proven. This person also appears in the list of businessmen fined in Durrës by a well-known criminal exponent in Albania like Emiljano Shullazi.

Troplin became famous when he was photographed at the table with President Ilir Meta, as their relationship has been even earlier. The company "Ovital" with shareholder Xhevdet Troplini, and administrator his daughter Antolena Troplini, has received a fund of 21 million ALL from ARDA, at the time when the Ministry of Agriculture was headed by the Minister of SMI, Edmond Panariti. Ilir Meta was also present at the inauguration, in the capacity of the Speaker of the Assembly, who praised the investment made, considering it an opportunity for the country's economic growth and taking it as an example of success for other entrepreneurs.

But what is the connection with Arben Mërkurin. The latter, shortly before his execution, became part of a scandal where he broke the camera of an investigative journalist. This is because Xhevdet Troplin's Ovital firm was burying chickens affected by bird flu near inhabited centers and selling eggs, and why this was banned.
