Who are the 4 members of the criminal group arrested in Tirana?

The people you see in the photo are the 4 arrested by the police today, Marsel Varka, Elsaed Maqinaj, Fabian Zako and Kristaq Biba as part of the operation that led to the crackdown on a group selling weapons and explosives in Tirana.

According to the police, these individuals, along with others previously arrested, were obtaining and selling firearms, explosives, and combat ammunition in various areas of Tirana.

Meanwhile, Kevin Vila and Bledar Avdillari have been declared wanted.

The police seized 7 firearms (4 pistols and 3 automatic rifles), combat ammunition and other items that will serve the investigation.

Investigators have also documented the prices that members of this network charged on the black market for the sale of weapons. Pistols were sold by them for prices ranging up to 1,500 euros, while Kalashnikov-type automatic weapons were worth up to 2,500 euros, depending on the orders.

The group had established a widespread network on the ground, and the bases where they operated or stored their weapons were located in several different areas of Tirana, which meant that the activity often changed locations to escape police surveillance.

The operation continues to capture two wanted citizens, Kevin Vila and Bledar Avdillari, as well as to fully document other persons involved in this illegal activity.
