Treasury’s action today targets four of Naser Kelmendi’s children – Besnik, Elvis, Donata and Liridon – for providing support to the narcotics trafficking activities of Naser Kelmendi or acting on his behalf.  Naser Kelmendi’s sons have also been involved in large-scale international monetary transfers of millions of euros related to illicit activities.  The July 4, 2014 indictment of Naser Kelmendi also names Liridon Kelmendi – a distribution manager of drugs to Serbia and other European countries – on five counts related to the sale and exportation of narcotics.  Elvis Kelmendi was arrested by the Kosovo police and EULEX in Kosovo on September 22, 2012 based on an INTERPOL Red Notice and sentenced to four years in prison on May 14, 2013 for attempted murder in Bosnia.  Besnik and Donata Kelmendi maintain businesses and conduct financial transfers on behalf of Kelmendi.
