Drug trafficking and criminal group, GJKKO leaves three defendants in prison (NAMES)

The Special Court for Corruption and Organized Crime has rejected requests for the release from prison of three detainees accused of international drug trafficking.

The court upheld the security measure "prison arrest" for citizens Baki Huqi, Aldi Zonja and Ismajl Abdurrahmani , accepting the objections presented by SPAK.

All three had filed requests since April 2025, requesting a review of the security measure through an assessment of the conditions. But the GJKKO joined the requests and with a unified decision rejected them, leaving in force the measures imposed on November 18, 2024.
