26/05/2014 00:00

After the presence of the Italian Guardia di Finanza at the site where
the Divjaka airplane crashed, the Italian authorities say that they are
involved in the investigations, but only for exchanging information.

The Lecce Anti-Mafia Prosecutor, Cataldo Motta, the Vlore coasts keep being the main corridor of marijuana traffic.

“I prefer to not speak about undergoing investigations, but we will increase the international cooperation, while Albania is very well-oriented in this area. There will be a constant exchange of information regarding the investigations that we have in Albania and Italy. It is well known that Albania has a high cultivation of narcotics and that this is one of the biggest supplying areas. Vlora is 44 miles from Lecce, and certainly that it is the first market”, Motta declared.

When asked by Top Channel, Motta didn’t comment about the arrest of the Albanian anti-drug officer, Dritan Zagani, who is being accused of power abuse by giving information illegally to the Italian authorities. But he declared that there is a significant increase of the seized drug.

“More drug has been seized, but not as much as the quantity that we think enters in Italy. We must keep in consideration that this quantity is brought through illegal immigration, but not all quantities that enter are for the Italian market. Many of them have western countries as their destination”, Motta underlined.

The Prosecutor General, Adriatik Lalla, did not comment his earlier declaration about cases that might change the future of our country.

“These are concerning problems about the organized crime, corruption and the drug traffic. We have an undergoing investigation process. The Prosecution has evidence”, Llalla declared.

Have the Italian authorities any information about other airplanes trafficking drug?

“We have nothing to presume this, so far”, declared the anti-mafia Prosecutor, Motta.
