An operation against drug trafficking has led to the arrest of several Albanians, who are accused of being part of a criminal organization operating in drug trafficking.
Authorities have intervened in the Magliana and Trullo neighborhoods of Rome, as investigations revealed that the gang had established strong links to enable large drug shipments by dealing directly with suppliers in South America for air shipments, with powerful Albanian cartels operating in Northern Italy and with key figures in Roman organized crime and Calabrian clans, Italian authorities announced.
It is also noted that the organization also operated in prostitution trafficking. So far, 7 arrests have been made and assets worth hundreds of thousands of euros, weapons, ammunition and quantities of drugs have been seized.
