On Wednesday evening, as part of the anti-drug operation codenamed "Transit", 45.5 kg of cocaine were seized in a container in the Port of Durres coming from Brazil. For the case, so far it is reported that two people have been put. 

Arben Ferizi, 30 years old, resident in Prishtina, administrator in the company that had ordered the consignment of chicken meat in Brazil, and Egert Vargu, 39 years old, resident in Tirana, a customs agent contracted by this company, were handcuffed.
