Anti-drug operation / An Albanian among those arrested, 19 kg of cocaine seized

An Albanian was arrested for drug trafficking during an operation in Italy.

€53,000 in cash, 4.5 kilograms of cocaine, and 1.7 kilograms of hashish were seized from his home in Osio Sopra.

This concludes an investigation by the State Police, carried out between the provinces of Bergamo and Milan, which led to the seizure of a total of 12 kilograms of drugs and €90,000 in cash.

The operation, conducted by officers of the Foreign Crime Section of the Milan Flying Squad, took place between September 2022 and March 2023.

After arrest warrants were issued in mid-March 2026, officers carried out home searches, finding the wanted men still at the same addresses in Osio Sopra and Milan, with hidden cash in walls and drugs, mainly cocaine and hashish.

Those arrested include two Albanians (one recently arrested with 4.5 kg of cocaine), aged 39 and 52 (the latter under house arrest), and a 64-year-old Italian.

A 44-year-old Egyptian, already in prison in Voghera, Pavia, for drug trafficking, was served with a notice in his cell.
