The drug shipments, which started from Latin America, arrived at the Italian ports of Livorno, Gevona and Savona.<\/p>\n<p>The clearing of communications in the SKY ECC application has played a key role in the discovery of the network, in which Albanians were also part.<\/p>\n<p>The criminal group used radio-location equipment and GPS to facilitate operations to identify and find cocaine, which was hidden inside containers loaded with exotic fruits or in special spaces created for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>This criminal group, also composed of Italian and Romanian citizens, is responsible for the trafficking of two tons of cocaine, which, if it were to be released on the market, would benefit about 70 million euros.
