One of the most sensational files of recent times, partially dealt with by the Special Prosecution Office, has been a combination of international drug trafficking, property sales and purchases in Zvërnec, and money laundering, involving some of the names that have been known in Albania for decades, led by Artur Shehu. This criminal group has managed to circulate hundreds of millions of euros in the banking and notary systems, initially money from drugs, then from properties and later the purchase of land and apartments in the most luxurious resorts in Albania, mainly from Palasa to Himara.

In these lines, we will focus on one of the names in the SPAK file, an individual considered a "launderer", who through financial maneuvers manages to bring into play a "mountain" of euros, camouflaging them as personal investments or investments for business, when in fact it is all money coming from the world of crime. We are talking about Edmond Jaupi, a 51-year-old man, originally from Tepelena, who is currently being investigated with a security measure, a measure that has not been implemented, because at the time of the court's decision he was in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, a safe "haven" for dozens of people accused in Albania.

Vox News has reviewed the Special Prosecution's file on this criminal group, which details data against Edmond Jaupi, who is accused of laundering the proceeds of crime and criminal activity.

"Persons under investigation Adrian Rama and Elton Memeti collaborate with person under investigation Edmond Jaupaj in the investments they make, and the latter is involved in actions by hiding the true ownership of a 'dinghy', which belongs to person under investigation Adrian Rama," the indictment states.

The prosecution has documented all the activities of this group, both in writing and from wiretaps and conversations that these members had with each other. "The actions carried out by the persons under investigation Adrian Rama, Elton Memeti, Erjon Rama and Edmond Jaupi to launder the proceeds of criminal activity in the form of investments through invoicing between the companies 'Kryon.83' with 'ICLIMA ALBANIA' and the company 'ecs ECO Climate Solution', by investing them in the construction of real estate or in the performance of actions for the disposal of movable property," the prosecution continues.

The role of Edmond Jaupi was determined at the beginning, since he owns several companies and has a turnover of tens of millions of euros, he must put into circulation the property and money of this criminal group. "During the period April 2023 - March 2025, from the interception of telephone communications carried out within the framework of the criminal proceedings, several conversations of interest were identified between the citizens under investigation Adrian Rama and Edmond Jaupi. The content of these communications has yielded sufficient data that creates reasonable suspicion that these citizens, together with other persons, have undertaken deliberate actions to conceal the origin of a movable property, specifically a dinghy," the file states.

According to them, the group was involved in money laundering after managing to transfer, convert or hide the true source of the illegally obtained wealth. "On April 24, 2023, at 5:50 p.m., Adrian Rama communicated with Edmond Jaupi regarding a 'dinghy' type vessel. From the analysis of the conversation, it is interesting to note the fact that this vessel was left for the use of the person under investigation, Adrian Rama," the file states.
