The judicial authorities from various countries have conducted a three-year operation that led to the dismantling of an organized crime network coordinated from Kosovo, active throughout Europe. This network was involved in large-scale drug trafficking, the use of fraudulent identity documents, illegal possession of weapons, and money laundering.


On June 9, a coordinated action led to the arrest of five key members of the organization. The group members communicated via encrypted messages on the SKY ECC platform, and the analysis of these communications allowed for the identification of the network's structure and financial flows. As part of the investigation, 42 suspects were investigated, 76 locations were searched, and goods worth 80 million euros were confiscated.


The operation was carried out with the support of Europol and involved the cooperation of authorities from Belgium, France, Kosovo, and the Netherlands. Europol emphasizes the importance of international collaboration in combating organized crime networks that operate across multiple jurisdictions.
