Leši je rekao da se Baljlji predao posle "duge i komplikovane operacije", ne navodeći detalje.
Baljilji, bivši visoki zvaničnik u lokalnoj vlasti u gradu Saranda na jugu Albanije, bio je u bjekstvu posle naloga za hapšenje iz susjedne Grčke, koja ga smatra šefom bande za trgovinu narkoticima.
Mediji su ga proglasili balkanskim "Pablom Eskobarom"
Albanski premijer Edi Rama je rekao da je hapšenje "veliki korak u borbi protiv organizovanog kriminala".
Borba protiv organizovanog kriminala, trgovine drogom i korupcije su najviši prioriteti Albanije koja želi da ove godine počne pregovore o članstvu u Evropskoj uniji.

Nicknamed as the Escobar of the Balkans for his drug trafficking activities, Klement Balili has turned himself in to the #Albania Police this morning, after 2 years in hiding. Balili was most wanted by authorities. His arrest was seen as improbable bcs. of political ties. #balili pic.twitter.com/FHTXH2rqno
