Ferizaj, May 6, 2025 – The Basic Prosecution Office in Ferizaj informs the public that it has filed a motion with the Basic Court in Ferizaj, requesting the imposition of a 30-day detention on remand against the suspects E.K. and G.B., both from the municipality of Ferizaj, on suspicion of committing the criminal offense “Unauthorized purchase, possession, distribution and sale of narcotics, psychotropic substances and analogues,” pursuant to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo.
According to the Prosecution, there is grounded suspicion that on May 5, 2025, at around 18:00 hrs in various locations in Ferizaj, the defendants unlawfully possessed, with the intent to sell, narcotic substances of the marijuana type in various quantities and weights, as well as a cocaine-type narcotic substance weighing 0.4 grams, which they had jointly purchased and paid for. On the critical day, while undercover police officers had information that the suspects were involved in the sale and purchase of narcotic substances, they began observing the area of Remzi Hoxha Street, where they first identified the defendant G.B., whom they stopped and searched. On him, they found a narcotic substance of the marijuana type wrapped in white paper (cigarette paper) with a total weight of 5.74 grams. In the apartment where he resides, they also found and seized two packs of rolling papers and a grinder used for grinding marijuana. Minutes later, they identified the defendant E.K., who was on his way to meet G.B. On Rexhep Bislimi Street, he was stopped and searched, and in his possession was found a bag containing a suspected marijuana-type narcotic substance weighing 47.6 grams.
Furthermore, on Hamëz Jashari Street in Ferizaj, in an apartment to which only the defendants had access and which they used for concealing and preparing narcotic substances, a search resulted in the seizure of suspected marijuana-type narcotic substance with a total weight of 13.1 grams stored in a glass jar, marijuana-type substance in two nylon bags weighing 1 gram, a nylon bag containing suspected cocaine-type narcotic substance weighing 0.4 grams, a digital scale marked “Constant,” as well as aluminum foil and empty nylon bags suspected to be intended for the packaging and division of the narcotic substance into small doses for sale. Additionally, two mobile phones and a total amount of €198 in cash were seized from the defendants. These actions constitute the co-perpetration of the criminal offense “Unauthorized purchase, possession, distribution and sale of narcotics, psychotropic substances and analogues” under Article 267 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 31 of the CCRK.
The defendants have been held in 48-hour detention since May 5, 2025, by decision of the State Prosecutor for the above-mentioned criminal offense.
