Drug charges for fallen airplane incident

Prosecutor Doloreza Musabelliu will take the travel data from the TIMS system to confirm if the Italian citizen has entered Albania even before.

Saimir Bregu has arrived from Italy two weeks ago, and according to the investigation, he had known the Italian pilot in Varese, Italy. Official sources say that Bajramaj had planned to pay the pilot for the transportation, 400 EUR per kilogram.

After the pilot arrived in Albania, they met in a bar near the airport, where they agreed for May 10th as the day of delivery. Sources say that the airplane was to land to Divjaka, exactly where it had a problem.

Bajramaj declared that the meeting in the Divjaka beach was set up at 14:30, where they would load 460 kilograms of cannabis sativa. They would pay only 28,000, what the defendant had with him. They have agreed that the rest of the money would be given once the drug arrived to Italy.

The Italian pilot refuses to talk. He said that he owned a tourist company and that he arrived in Tiarna a few days ago for the first time, only for tourist reasons.

The investigation group say that Bajramaj tried to leave, as soon as he saw the airplane on the ground, but a car problem had left him blocked on the street. Bajramaj called a service station to help him transport the vehicle, but a police roadblock found the drugs while the car was being moved.

The Prosecution and the antidrug sector is working to explain two other bags of drugs found 200 meters from the airplane, and another one in the forest. Sources say that two other suspects might have been involved, since witnesses have seen two vehicles leaving the place.
