Wanted for money laundering and drug trafficking, the owner of "Vlora

Nexhmedin Danaj, the owner of the company "Vlora Cable", has been arrested in Dubai, after being wanted by Albanian authorities as part of an investigation into international drug trafficking and money laundering.

Danaj is suspected of having played a role in the movement and laundering of money that, according to investigations, came from drug trafficking activities. The money is also suspected of being transferred to the United Arab Emirates, through the company "General Trading LLC", headquartered in Dubai.

Nexhmedin Danaj's name emerged as part of the international operation "Ura", conducted by the Special Prosecution Office and Italian authorities, against a group suspected of drug trafficking and money laundering.

As part of this operation, authorities also seized the company "Vlora Cable", owned by Danaj, as well as the business "Dubai Inn".

According to data made public by SPAK, investigations conducted during the period 2020-2025 have documented 40 suspected episodes of narcotics trafficking, including cocaine and heroin trafficking.

The operation has been extended to Albania and Italy, and a total of 52 security measures have been executed. During the investigations, real estate, companies, vehicles and sums of money suspected of being related to the criminal activity of the group have been seized.

Danaj's arrest in Dubai is expected to be followed by legal procedures for his extradition to Albania, so that he can be made available to Albanian justice.

Investigations into this matter continue, as authorities work to fully document Danaj's alleged role in the drug trafficking and money laundering scheme.
