At least 10 police officers have been arrested in Kosovo during a large-scale operation to close down illegal casinos.
Hundreds of officers took part in the raid in the village of Karachevo on the border with Serbia.
Police said it was the biggest operation of its kind ever carried out in Kosovo and followed a year-long investigation.
Kosovo banned all gambling last year in a bid to crack down on crime.
Jetish Maloku, chief prosecutor for the eastern district of Gjilan, told reporters that police had arrested at least 35 people on suspicion of illegal gambling, prostitution, and trafficking people, guns and drugs.
At least 10 of those were border police who were alleged to have facilitated illegal cross-border activity. END
