Gentian Çipi, born in Korça and residing in Dishnicë, Korça, is the prisoner who escaped spectacularly yesterday evening from Serres Hospital in Greece. The 41-year-old from Korça is a person with serious criminal records in Albania and Greece. Specifically, he was sentenced in Albania in July 2024 to 2 years in prison for “destruction of property by fire” committed in collaboration and under aggravating circumstances. Initially, he was investigated under the measure “Arrest in prison” but later the Court reduced the measure to “Prohibition of leaving the country” and “Property guarantee”. He is accused of burning a vehicle on 24.04.2023, in neighborhood 13, Rr. “Loni Grazhdani” in Korça.

Earlier, in January 2023, as part of Operation "Fijet", the police prosecuted Gentian Çipi for finding cameras illegally installed near his apartment. On September 3, 2024, Gentian Çipi opened fire in Pylaia, Thessaloniki, attempting to kill a 25-year-old Greek man outside a cantina. The Greek man was wounded by 3 bullets but managed to survive his wounds, while Cipi managed to escape.

The Greek police managed to identify Cipi and organized an operation to capture him in September 2025. During the operation, Enea Basholli, 31, and Kleo Topa, 24, also from Korça, were also arrested. According to the Greek police, Gentian Cipi is the leader of a criminal group that carries out drug trafficking and violent acts. During the operation to capture them in Thessaloniki, Çipi and Topa did not obey the police order, but increased the speed of the vehicle they were driving and performed dangerous maneuvers, crashing into a police vehicle. They abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot, but were later caught. A few hours later, in the Halkidiki area, Enea Basholli was also arrested. During the Greek police checks, 1 Kalashnikov with 30 cartridges, 3 pistols, a silencer, approximately 31 kg of marijuana, a fake passport, a fake driver's license, 23,350 euros, cell phones, and 3 vehicles were found and seized.
