Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 07:02 · Archive
Two jailed gang members have had cash and jewellery seized following their convictions for supplying cocaine in Norwich.
Bekim Spahiu, 27, and Albert Piska, 23, have had tens of thousands of pounds of ill-gotten gains seized following proceeds of crime hearings. Spahiu was jailed for 12 years in August after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine, whilst Piska was sentenced to six years for conspiracy to supply and illegally converting large quantities of cash.
Financial investigators from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit applied to Norwich Magistrates' Court to seize £10,500 in cash from Spahiu and a Cartier diamond necklace worth £1,800 from Piska. Both men were among five arrested for drug offences and money laundering following police raids at five addresses across Norwich.
The offences involved the supply of large quantities of cocaine and other Class A drugs between June 2024 and September 2025. Three other men were also charged: Seyed Houssaini, 54, sentenced to six years; Muhammed Muhammadi, 23, who admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine; and Hekuran Allarj, 23, jailed for ten years and six months.
