New details emerge from the operation conducted the day before to crack down on drug dealers operating near schools in the capital.

According to sources, the arrested persons and those declared wanted in the Tirana Anti-Drug operation finalized the day before with 31 arrests, are suspected of operating through at least 8 drug distribution groups, spread across several areas of Tirana, including Lapraka, Braka, Jordan Misje, Selita, Yzberishti, Alliasi, Tregu Elektrik and Qyteti Studenti.

In each of these groups, 3 to 4 people suspected of being drug dealers were identified. According to the investigations, when one of the groups no longer had narcotics available, clients were directed towards other groups in the network.

 Their activity was documented through undercover agents and stimulated purchases, with a particular focus on drug sales near schools. As part of the investigation, authorities also arrested 5 people suspected of being suppliers to the network, who were suspected of providing heroin and cocaine for distribution.

One of the identified suppliers is Ferit Xhani, alias 'Luzi', known to the police, with a criminal record for drugs and assault. A former police officer, Engrid Henaj, dismissed from the police for theft, also played a key role in the network. 

To avoid being noticed by the police, the distributors camouflaged themselves with skateboards or sent it via taxis and delivery services. 7 people have been arrested during the 4-month investigation, while 14 others are still being sought.
