Photos of people arrested as part of a criminal group involved in arms trafficking have emerged. Journalist Xhensila Kodra has provided the following information: BalkanWeb photos of the arrested. These are the citizens; Marsel Varka, 35 years old; Elsaed Maqinaj, 25 years old; Fabian Zako, 29 years old and Kristaq Biba, 32 years old. From the verifications carried out, it has resulted that the six people involved in this phase of the operation are part of two different criminal groups that collaborated in this field. Other members of these two groups had previously been arrested in flagrante delicto by the blue uniforms during previous actions.

Investigators have also documented the prices that members of this network charged on the black market for the sale of weapons. Pistols were sold by them for prices ranging up to 1500 euros, while Kalashnikov-type automatic weapons were worth up to 2500 euros, depending on the orders. The group had set up a network spread across the field and the bases where they operated or kept the weapons were located in several different areas of Tirana, which meant that the activity often changed location to escape police surveillance.

The operation continues to capture two wanted citizens, Kevin Vila and Bledar Avdillari, as well as to fully document other persons involved in this illegal activity.
