At the request of the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Berat, four citizens, EV, KI, KD and RI, were found guilty and sentenced for the criminal offense of 'Production and sale of narcotics' committed in collaboration, as provided for in Article 283/2 of the Criminal Code.

At the conclusion of the investigation and trial of criminal proceeding No. 319 of 2023, it was assessed that the charges brought against the defendants are fully proven.

The investigations started from information from the Crime Investigation Section, at the Dimal Police Station, that citizen EV is implicated in the criminal activity of distributing the narcotic substance cocaine, in the city of Dimal. From the data obtained, it resulted that this citizen carries out the criminal activity of distributing the narcotic substance cocaine, with high intensity, in the city of Dimal and beyond, which he has in various quantities. This citizen also owns a nightclub called “Star Club”, where it was proven that the customers, after consuming a large amount of alcohol, also sought narcotic substances, specifically cocaine. He keeps the narcotic substance hidden in one of the blocks of the surrounding wall of the club and has it divided into small doses of 0.2 gr to 0.5 gr, which he has ready for sale, where one dose was sold for the amount of 2000-5000 lek. After taking their dose of cocaine, the customers consumed it in the restrooms of the bar. In this activity, he was also assisted by the bar's bodyguard KD, the manager KI and the waiter RZ.

From all the circumstances of the fact and the collected evidence analyzed as above, it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the defendants EV, KI, RZ, and KD, have carried out the trade of the narcotic substance of the type "cocaine", continuously, repeatedly and for a long time to narcotic users who came to the "Bar Star" bar and purchased the narcotic substance.

The results obtained from the simulated purchases, which are reflected in detail in the circumstances of the fact, prove that the defendants continuously sold narcotics to various people who came as customers to the "Bar Star" bar, where they kept the narcotics of the type "cocaine" hidden outside the bar in the back, where they took it in a box placed on the surrounding wall of the bar, while they kept the rest of the narcotics hidden in the apartment of the defendant EV. The defendants called the narcotics "amaro" so that they would not be understood when they talked about the money they had benefited from selling the narcotics.

From the analysis of the evidence and circumstances of the fact, it is fully proven that the defendant EV carried out the illegal activity in collaboration and specifically in the role of organizer and executor. The defendant KD committed the criminal offense in the capacity of executor. He meticulously followed the tasks left by the co-defendant EV. The other defendant KI also committed the criminal offense in the role of executor, and took all steps to fully carry out the criminal offense. While the defendant RZ committed the criminal offense in the role of assistant, having taken all possible actions for the criminal offense to be fully carried out, by receiving orders from the customers of the premises for the purchase of narcotics and forwarding the order to the co-defendants KI and KD who were in the role of executor, i.e. the seller of narcotics.

As above, at the conclusion of the judicial investigation at the request of the Prosecutor's Office at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction, Berat, it was decided:

1. The guilty plea of ​​the defendant EV for committing the criminal offense of "Production and sale of narcotics", committed in collaboration and his sentence to 12 years of imprisonment.
