The 2019 case file with a “protagonist” again the 65 -year -old Cretan today arrested by executives of the organized cargo with thousands of bullets from Albania, in a special truck crypt was essentially (regardless of its criminal outcome). One wonders if “in Crete we have war”.

At that time, police officers from the Crete Organized Crime Response Department had “dug” under the hundreds of clover balls of four Kalashnikovs and more than 120,000 bullets.

And while the new case with the burden of about 25,000 cartridges has already taken the path of justice, with authorities talking again about the action of criminal organization, cretalive.gr is recovering aspects of the older case that had caused a sensation. According to ELAS, the 59-year-old man had traveled several times to Albania several times to arrive at the “source” and come with his suppliers. He was given, on the basis of the pre -trial material, that every time he traveled outside Crete, he left his personal cellphone at home to prevent his mark from being detected. According to the authorities, Albania was alleged to enter on foot in order to avoid checkpoints. But also in December 2018, a few months before the 2019 police operation, ELAS believed that the 59 -year -old made the decision to cancel the huge bullet cargo, confident that he was under police monitoring, downloading for a while.

Thursday apologize 4 for thousands of bullets from Albania

However, in the 2019 case, he claimed that he had brought 122,000 bullets to shoot with his friends in the mountains, of course refusing any category of trading.

Police sources believe that the 65 -year -old Cretan today remains a strong player in the trafficking of balls at the level of Crete and therefore attempted to “load” the domestic market as there is a lack of cartridges, with so many social events ahead.

Many years ago the rule wanted the weapons trade to become no moon on the south coast of Crete. Fisherman approached ships that had been thrown in the middle of the middle, loading the boxes with weapons and returned to land. This is probably the case today, but experienced ELAS executives commented meaningfully years ago that there is no reason to run on the steep shores of the South, when there are two major ports of the north. “Based on the information we have, all indications converge in the same conclusion. Weapons are trafficking with the ships of the line reaching the ports of Heraklion and Chania. They are loaded on trucks and transported comfortably. There is no way to control the loads overall. Imagine a truck filled with hay balls. The carrier has all the comfort of hiding four Kalashnikovs and fifteen pistols in two balls in the center of the cargo. Who will find them? “
