Altin Myslihaka is for now behind the bars for the 137 kg of cocaine.
It was the US DEA, which signaled to the Greek authorities that 137 kilograms of cocaine had arrived at the port of Piraeus, coming from Ecuador with the final destination Albania.
The cocaine was hidden in refrigerator engines in four banana containers, ordered by an Albanian company operating in the market since 2011.
Greek authorities informed the Albanian police after the drug was discovered and then decided to replace the drug with rice and put GPS in the packages.
Bananas containers have been transit to the port of Piraeus.
