Today the EULEX Organised Crime Investigation Unit Police and Kosovo Police Directorate for Investigating Trafficking of Drugs arrested an individual in a joint operation in Prishtinë/Priština. The case relates to organised crime and drugs trafficking. The police searched two premises and seized substances suspected to be heroin and marijuana, two vehicles and some weapons.

The suspect was wanted in Germany for allegedly committing the above mentioned offences between 2009 and 2011. The case file was transferred from Germany to Kosovo through an International Legal Cooperation procedure. The case is being investigated by a mixed team of a EULEX and a local Prosecutor from Kosovo’s Special Prosecution Office (SPRK).
