The State Police have released footage detailing an operation codenamed “Illegal Trade,” which targeted illicit commerce in Tirana. During this enforcement action, nine administrators were processed in connection with the smuggling of luxury brand clothing and accessories. According to the police, the “Illegal Trade” operation was concluded following extensive verifications and investigations conducted by specialists from the Section for Investigation of Economic and Financial Crime.
