Criminal proceedings in Tirana, Albania

Overview

A Tirana court has ordered the imprisonment of Ylli Zalla following his apprehension. During legal proceedings, defense counsel argued that Zalla posed no social risk and that the seized items—including cannabis and old Chinese-made weapons found among scrap metal—were not organized for criminal use. The defense further claimed that certain explosive devices were non-functional and that Zalla surrendered voluntarily rather than being captured by force during a police drone operation.
