He has passed away in 2020 as a result of a targeted gun attack. The request was based on evidence demonstrating that these assets are directly linked to and stem from illicit activities.
The investigations into asset case No. 03 of 2023, revealed that the deceased was a member of a criminal group primarily involved in drug trafficking, as stipulated in Article 283 of the Criminal Code.
The Prosecution substantiated that N.Gj. was under investigation in the Netherlands for money laundering and had previously been arrested and convicted for drug offenses in Italy.
