He was released on bail a few months later;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">The information about Mr. Osmani is quoted many times in authoritative media such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.occrp.org\/en\/investigations\/4632-balkan-organized-crime-sets-up-in-prague\">OCCRP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.krik.rs\/bugarska-poslanica-imala-firmu-sa-kosovskim-kriminalcem-ismetom-osmanijem\/\">Krik<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courrierdesbalkans.fr\/Kosovo-coup-de-filet-contre-le-boss-Ismet-Osmani-Curri-et-le-crime-organise\">Courrier des Balkans<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koha.net\/arberi\/164129\/vajza-e-currit-keshilltare-e-pacollit\/\">Koha Ditore<\/a> and others. No one questions the official reports of the German and Serbian authorities and the accusations of the Kosovo authorities;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">In our publication, we do not claim that Mr. Osmani is a convicted criminal. For now, he is <a href=\"https:\/\/kossev.info\/ismet-osmani-curri-pusten-iz-pritvora-sa-kaucijom-od-50-000-evra\/\">still just a defendant<\/a>. This in no way alters the quoted statements of the services. To this we can add the fact that his associates have been arrested and one of them has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investigace.cz\/v-kosovu-zatkli-mezinarodniho-zlocince-podnika-i-v-brne\/\">convicted<\/a> of drug trafficking in the Czech Republic;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">It seems that the illumination of Mr. Osmani worries a lot of people. After the publication, we were pressured over the phone by persons with ambiguous reputations. We assume that Mr. Yordanov was also under pressure to make such a statement, and we are worried about his security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4489\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4488\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=1024%2C451&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=1024%2C451&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=300%2C132&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=768%2C338&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=1536%2C676&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=2048%2C901&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=990%2C436&amp;ssl=1 990w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bird.bg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bnd-osmani.png?resize=1320%2C581&amp;ssl=1 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ismet Osmani&#8217;s characterization from a BND report dated 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Atanas Chobanov, Dimitar Stoyanov<\/p>\n<p>In the leading photo: Ismet Osmani &#8211; &#8220;Curi&#8221; in the middle in the company of Kosovo politicians.
