Sources familiar with the operation said the arrest was executed by officers from Tirana’s Operational Unit after authorities gathered intelligence on his whereabouts and employed special investigative methods to track and monitor his movements. Once his location was confirmed, police reportedly moved in and secured the area before carrying out the arrest.
Investigators indicate that Habilaj attempted to avoid detection by altering his appearance. At the time of the operation, he was allegedly wearing a cap and beard as part of an effort to conceal his identity from authorities.
The arrest marks a significant development in ongoing efforts by Albanian law enforcement to apprehend individuals wanted in connection with organized crime and narcotics trafficking investigations.
Authorities have not yet released an official statement detailing the circumstances of the operation, the charges facing Habilaj, or the next procedural steps. The Albanian State Police are expected to provide further information in the coming hours.
The operation has attracted considerable public attention due to Habilaj's alleged links to drug trafficking networks and his status as a wanted individual. Additional details are expected to emerge as investigators continue their inquiries.
