The State Police confirmed that the Durrës Local Police Directorate and the operational structures of the General Directorate, in cooperation with the Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK), finalized the operation codenamed "The Wanted".
"As a result of the operation, citizen Ergys Agasi, wanted by SPAK, was arrested in Durrës. As part of the operation, citizen Uljan Shpataraku, who was traveling in the same vehicle with the wanted person Ergys Agasi, was also arrested," the announcement states.
Agasi, wanted by SPAK for the AKSHI file, was arrested this Wednesday afternoon in the Plepave area of Durrës. Police sources said that he was spotted in the Elbasan area and was kept under surveillance until he was arrested. Agasi was wanted by SPAK because, together with businessman Ermal Beqiri and former AKSHI director Mirlinda Karçanaj, they are accused of being part of a criminal group that manipulated public tenders.
Meanwhile, Uljan Shpataraku, a former police officer wanted for threatening hotel staff in Dhërmi, was also known as the confidant of former Police Director General Ilir Proda. In May, Skënder Hita dismissed Shpataraku from the Police for failure to report to duty. He held the position of assistant in the Information Technology Department of the State Police.
