Businessman Ilir Shtufi arrested in Greece on money laundering charges

Businessman Ilir Shtufi was arrested this Friday in Greece after the Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) issued an arrest warrant against him as part of a crackdown on a group involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.

The businessman is accused of money laundering. Shtufi was active in the construction field, and is suspected of collaborating with this criminal group, laundering money earned from drug trafficking.

As part of this operation, the Criminal Investigation Department signed 20 security measures, of which 15 were "prison arrest" and 5 were "house arrest" for international cocaine trafficking, money laundering worth millions of euros, and criminal organization.

According to investigations, the group was led by Artur (Luciano) Koçeku and his brothers, who trafficked cocaine from Latin American countries to Europe and laundered profits in Albania through investments in construction, luxury resorts in the south of the country, and various businesses.
