The Financial Police of Brescia has recently dismantled a vast network of drug trafficking operating between Italy and Albania, involving 24 individuals under investigation. The inquiries, coordinated by the District Attorney’s Office and supported by various international agencies, have led to the seizure of assets worth approximately 3 million euros and the discovery of over 1,300 kg of cocaine in circulation. Operations took place in several countries, including Italy, Albania, France, and England, where precautionary measures were executed against members of the criminal organization. The investigative activities employed advanced techniques such as decrypting encrypted chats and conducting phone and environmental interceptions from 2020 to 2025. Members of the criminal group are believed to have imported the narcotic from South America through commercial routes directed to northern European ports, subsequently distributing it in Italy via heavy vehicles. In addition to today’s arrests, significant seizures have already been made, including cash and vehicles used for illegal trafficking. Currently, over 35 searches are underway across the national territory with the assistance of drug detection dog units. Italian Version
