Having grown to become the world's leading cannabis smugglers, Albanian mafia clans are now entering the even more lucrative cocaine business in South America - with Germany as their target market. Even in Germany, the Albanian mafia acts with extreme brutality against renegades from its ranks. Their archaic understanding of law is based on "honor" Enemy families carry out generational conflicts with deadly vengeance.
One summer evening in 2021 in the middle of Berlin's busy Wedding Quarter - more than 20 shots were fired from a car at guests of a shisha bar, some of the victims were seriously injured. Berlin police are investigating rival Albanian drug gangs that have dominated the capital's drug trade for years. While the Albanian clans have so far been considered the main cannabis dealers in Germany, they are now making much higher profits in the more lucrative cocaine business.
After decades of isolation under Hoxha's Stalinist regime, the poorest country in the Balkans, Albania, has only opened up to Europe and a free market society since 1990. But corruption at the highest political levels means that most Albanians they doubt the state apparatus and its laws even to this day. For centuries, they have trusted the unwritten rules of the "Canon", which places the family above everything and is characterized by terms such as "honor" and "blood revenge". Young people often find their perspective in well-organized criminal gangs that proudly display the spoils of the international drug trade in villas and luxury cars in their hometowns. The phenomenon of organized Albanian mafia clans is also visible in Germany since the 1990s. In the middle of Germany,
Përveç trafikut të drogës, në të cilin familjet shqiptare u ngritën nga partnerë të vegjël të mafiozëve italianë në importues të drejtpërdrejtë në Amerikën e Jugut, pazaret e armëve, vjedhjet dhe prostitucioni janë ndër aktivitetet kryesore kriminale të kriminelëve shqiptarë. Të favorizuar nga politika liberale e vizave në Shqipëri, autorët ndryshojnë identitetin e tyre në shtëpi sa herë të duan. Kjo e bën edhe më të vështirë për hetuesit gjermanë kërkimin dhe hetimin. Ligji i heshtjes ndalon gjithsesi çdo bashkëpunim me policinë gjermane nën kërcënimin e vdekjes. Klanet mafioze shqiptare kanë dominuar prej kohësh tregun e drogës në të gjitha qytetet kryesore gjermane, veçanërisht në Berlin dhe Frankfurt. Ata sigurisht bashkëpunojnë me Hells Angels në rrethet përkatëse të dritave të kuqe, si në Hamburg ose Frankfurt. Për shkak të komunitetit të fortë shqiptar dhe kosovar në Zvicrën gjermanishtfolëse, trekëndëshi kufitar me Francën në zonën Lörrach/Basel ka qenë një pikë e nxehtë për kontrabandën e drogës dhe armëve për vite me radhë. Përpjekjet e Shqipërisë për t'u anëtarësuar në BE nën Presidentin Edi Rama kanë qenë deri tani dështoi gjithmonë për shkak të Persekutimit jokonsistent të bosëve të drogës në Shqipëri.
The mass cultivation of cannabis, especially in the deep mountain valleys in the north and south of the country, provides the farming population with a better income than the classic work in the field. Albanian politics in Tirana has been moving in this zone of tension for years. The daily brutality with which the Albanian drug gangs operate in the middle of Germany distinguishes them from the now much more discreet organizations, such as the Italian mafia clans. Having penetrated the global cocaine business, they are now dealing with large sums of money in the billions. In order to be able to take more effective actions against the murderous business of the Albanian mafia in Germany, investigators and investigators would need more human and technical resources.
