(AGI) - Brindisi, June 11 - The 59 arrest orders include an Albanian diplomat working at Tirana's embassy in Rome. The arrest orders were issued by the Lecce's narcotics department against an Italian-Albanian criminal organisation dealing in drugs, human trafficking, cigarette contraband, extortion, theft and armed robbery. The operation, code named "paradise", involved 150 carabinieri policemen and has resulted, thus far, in the issue of 54 detention orders.
