Italy Releases from Prison Albanian Who Supplied 'Diabolic' with Drugs

Sentence of Dorian Petoku in Italian prisons, who was extradited to the neighboring country in 2021 from Albania, lasted only one year. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison in the interest of Italian justice after he was arrested in Albania in 2019, but it took two years for his extradition to Italy. 

Petoku was extradited on October 21 of last year to Italy, but his sentence in Italian prisons lasted only one year, after the court decided to release him by placing him under house arrest. 

According to the Italian media, he will be equipped with an electronic bracelet to control his movements, and he will spend the rest of his sentence in the community of Morlupo in "Green Point Line". 

Also, the Italian media reported that during the tests done on Petoku by the Albanian doctors, he turned out to be a drug addict, even though he was in the prison cells. 

Petoku is not an ordinary criminal, as he is the cousin of the first Albanian boss, Arben Zogu, and the predecessor of Elvis Demçe, the self-proclaimed "God". 

On his part, Dorian grew up in Albania, in Lezha, a city of 113,000 people that has become a stage for numerous criminal groups that get rich by trafficking weapons, human beings and drugs. 

The 46-year-old Albanian is accused of drug trafficking and being the drug supplier of the criminal organization led by the ultras of Lazio, Fabrizio Piscitelli, known by the nickname "Diabolic", who was executed on August 7, 2019 in a park in Rome. 

In the meantime, Dorian Petoku from Lezha has been at the center of the important investigations of the Rome Prosecutor's Office of two sensational operations, that of "Brasile low cost" and "Grande raçordo annulare".
