The Special Prosecution Office of the Republic of Kosovo (PSRK) has officially called a press conference scheduled for today, July 6, 2026, at 14:30, at the Special Prosecution headquarters.
The briefing will address the high-profile international anti-mafia operation executed in Pristina on June 30, which led to the seizure of approximately €1 million in criminal assets from an Italy-based Kosovar couple. In addition to breaking down the cross-border drug and gold-smuggling network, prosecutors are expected to present an expansive six-month performance and activity report mapping out PSRK’s recent anti-organized crime operations.

Context of the Raid
The upcoming media brief follows a highly complex investigation into a transnational money laundering pipeline. The illicit network systematically funneled cash generated from narcotics trafficking in France into pure gold bars to transport wealth across European borders into Kosovo, Turkey, and Morocco.
Local assets frozen during the June 30 operational phase in Pristina include luxury vehicles, high-value real estate properties, active corporate shares, and local bank accounts registered under a married Kosovar couple who were initially intercepted in France with over 56kg of hidden gold bars.
The multi-jurisdictional sweep relied on joint field execution involving France’s JIRS, Italy’s Guardia di Finanza (GICO & SCICO), Europol, Eurojust, and the Kosovo Police.
