More than 61 months of imprisonment for a specified sentence was handed down in relation to 88 measures against the accused. Ten of the latter were in cells [?] arranged by the court, but it is not known which police units were moved there. The trial is being held behind closed doors. In the room there are only the relatives of the defendants, representatives of the embassies, as well as police escorts. It is learned that the trial began with questioning the accused about their identity and then with the reading of the charges. The defendants are being defended by 20 lawyers. Experts from Italy and Albanian police officers are also taking part in the trial. The process concerns the event of January this year, when a vessel armed with 38 people tried to break through the Karaburun police blockade. The Vlora court has designated 6 organizers of the escape as having left without permission and without a passport. 10 of them fled by boat from Vlora to Italy. Some have returned while others have headed to Greece by land. Among the accused is also a Kosovar citizen.
