Today marks the beginning of the SKY ECC (European Court of Criminal Justice) proceedings against 40 key figures of the Albanian organized crime network led by Alfapress in Belgium. The courtroom is filled with tense anticipation as families and supporters of the accused gather outside, their faces etched with worry and uncertainty. Inside, the defendants stand before the judges, their expressions varied – some resigned, others defiant. Prosecutors present evidence of money laundering, drug trafficking, extortion, and racketeering, detailing how this criminal organization has thrived in the shadows of Belgian society for years. As victims share their stories of loss and trauma, the gravity of the situation becomes all too clear. The SKY ECC process is a significant step forward in dismantling this powerful network and bringing its members to justice. The outcome of this trial will send a strong message that no one is above the law, regardless of their wealth or power.
