Prime Minister Edi Rama has received another strong blow from the foreign media. After the "bombshell" article of Der Spiegel, the Belgian newspaper "BrusselsMorning. According to an article, the government has strong ties to crime, as Olsi Rama, the prime minister's brother, is taken as an example.
In a fragile period of international politics, security and humanitarian crisis, various organized crime networks are using the security loopholes to enrich themselves and continue their illegal activities. In this case, the drug negatively affects the entire Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey and subsequently Albania.
Criminal networks are the main users of ports in the Balkans for the trafficking of cocaine, amphetamine and heroin. Their handling requires greater international police cooperation. Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg... These are the ports that usually come to mind when it comes to the drug trade.
The Albanian mafia is known around the world and has managed to influence the markets of Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Its influence is so high that the names of Albanian government ministers, officials of international organizations, and even the brother of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, Olsi Rama, are published from time to time.
Albanian drug gangs
The peculiarity of Albanian organized crime is that each region, each family, undertakes a different market, has a specific clientele and aims to spread in the country where it is active, without being involved most of the time in the work of other organizations. So a copy of the organization system of the Italian mafia.
The country is said to be part of the "Balkan route" for heroin trafficking. This route starts in Afghanistan, passes through Iran and Turkey and continues through the Balkan countries to Western and Central Europe. Kosovo and Albania play a key role as transit centers along this route. Albanian mafia groups are also heavily involved in the smuggling of cocaine from South America to Europe, mainly through ports such as Antwerp, Rotterdam and Hamburg. These operations often include routes through West Africa, Spain and Greece.
Italian and Albanian authorities have taken measures against a large drug trafficking network operating from both countries, but this is not enough. Edi Rama has defended his efforts to eradicate gangs. The fight against crime and trafficking has been a priority for this government, but when so many political figures in his government are targeted, questions are raised about how high the corruption is and how inefficient the policy is.
Internationally, the US Department of Justice charged former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal with violating US sanctions and engaging in money laundering by working with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
Another indictment highlights McGonigal's undisclosed ties to Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, accusing him of performing paid services for Albania. McGonigal allegedly took at least $225,000 from an Albanian secret service officer and passed information from Rama's office to U.S. authorities, leading to an investigation into a U.S.-based lobbyist working for Albania's opposition party.
Everything mentioned proves that anyone who wants to "invest" in drugs, this area is ideal. / Taken with abbreviations from "BrusselsMorning"
