Inside the Disinformation Machine
From Crime to Covert Operations: The Rise of Halit Sahitaj in Targeting Kosovo's Special Chambers Tribunal. The GPC I Unit traced the Criminal Turned Operative's Path in Disinformation Warfare.
An unexpected Facebook message1 from an account named “Laky Laky” set off an investigation that exposed an intricate network of misinformation aimed at obstructing Kosovo’s war crimes tribunal. This was no random encounter. The sender, later identified as Halit Sahitaj, had a long and troubled history with international law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and organised crime. Official records reveal his involvement in extortion, fraud, and manipulation, spanning Spain, Monaco, Kosovo, Germany, Switzerland and Russia. But beyond his criminal background, Sahitaj’s interactions and financial dealings point to a deeper game: an orchestrated campaign designed to manipulate judicial proceedings at The Hague to favour specific political and geopolitical interests.
