After two years on the run, Klement Balili, who was nicknamed “Balkan’s Escobar” and the “Drug baron” or the “magician”, is finally under police custody.

Balili handed himself over, in presence of his lawyer, while the Prosecution of Serious Crimes had filed a case at Court with four charges, including International Drug Traffic, Creation and Participation in a Structured Criminal Group.

However, police claim that the 46-year-old could no longer resist the pressure of the police, which was getting closer to the area he was hiding in Delvina.

The US Embassy, which had mentioned the need for his arrest several times, issued a message today congratulating the Police for the arrest.
