Footage secured by the KALLXO.com team shows how Kosovo authorities are destroying drug trafficking networks in raids that started on Tuesday—an operation made possible by evidence extracted from the encrypted SKY ECC communication platform.

The team followed on the ground operation and raids and will produce a report regarding the case in following weeks.

The evidence was obtained months earlier from law enforcement authorities in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and EUROPOL.

The intercepted communications—audio and video recordings, photographs, and encrypted messages—uncovered the structure and activities of two well-organised criminal groups operating across Kosovo. 

From the footage of  the 47 raided locations we can see that the first group, who were based in Prishtina, had over 20 members and managed both drug trafficking and money laundering operations. The second group, also numbering more than 20 individuals, operated from Pejë/Pec.

The groups were smuggling cocaine from Ecuador and heroin from Turkey, moving the drugs through Kosovo en route to European markets—including Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and other EU states.

In total, the operation, which is still ongoing, resulted in 22 arrests, 29 vehicles seized, 134,000 euros in cash confiscated, 800,000 in assets frozen by banks, and hundreds of property documents and financial contracts seized.
