Journalist 'deconstructs' the photo with 12 million euros: They were

SPAK has sent 16 people for trial, suspected of being part of a criminal organization led by Franc Çopja and Elvis Çela, accused of trafficking more than 60 tons of cocaine from South America to Europe during 2019-2021. Assets worth around 9.2 million euros have also been seized as part of the investigations.

A photograph was published on the show "Opinion" showing around 12 million euros placed on the floor of an apartment. Journalist Eni Ferhati, invited to the studio, revealed details about this photograph, explaining that the money was photographed in an apartment in Peqin, but was not seized by the authorities.

"This money, 12 million euros, was photographed in Peqin. Criminal groups have spoken freely on encrypted platforms. This money has not been found. There are also photos showing tons of cocaine. They also had small planes for transport. The sports plane holds up to 500 kg. Elvis Çela was based in Paraguay."

Further, Ferhati explained that Çela's placement in Paraguay was related to the fact that in Italy he had been placed under "house arrest", while in Latin America he had continued his criminal activity.

According to the journalist, cocaine labs in Bolivia were unable to cope with Chela's demands, as the amount of drugs being transported to them reached 2-3 tons per day. He also revealed that the organization had invested in gold bars, which were used as a way to turn the profits from criminal activity into wealth.

The journalist indicated that the Çopja and Çelë organization also had connections with important drug trafficking leaders in Latin America, among them Sebastian Enrique Marset, who was wanted by American authorities, who had offered 2 million euros for his "head".

According to Ferhat, the cooperation also extended to other leaders of powerful criminal organizations in Latin America.
