Default Albanians supply 80% of heroin to EU countries


Now lets see what EU has to say about poor Albanians who are being denied human rights by nasty Serbs, Macedonians and Greeks.

Lets start from the English. This is taken from BBC news:

Quote:
Europe's drug gangs

When Ray Kendall, the British outgoing Secretary General of Interpol, visited Albania in the early 1990s, he was shocked by the untrained state of the local police.

Forget computers. There were hardly any typewriters either.

The 'Albanian mafia' has acquired a fearsome reputation

Much has been done since, with Western help. But after renewed political and social upheavals, the Albanian government's control over large parts of the country remains precarious.

Last year's war over Kosovo has provided another opportunity for criminals to prosper.

According to Ray Kendall, at least 80 percent of the heroin entering Western Europe does so through Turkey and the Balkans - with Albanian gangs playing an increasingly important role.
Former Secretary Genrral of Interpol Raymond Kendall
Ray Kendall: Albanian drug gangs are on the rise
The "Albanian mafia" has acquired a fearsome reputation. It has now established itself within the European Union as well - reportedly wresting control of the criminal underworld in north Italian cities like Milan and Turin from gangs linked to the Italian mafia.
The Western media has written extensively about the "clan structure" of Albanian society; of the traditional code of silence known as "besa"; of the difficulty of penetrating tight-knit family structures.

In a way, they are behaving like any successful company adapting to market conditions.
But Albanian observers say this is largely a myth. The clan tradition is stronger in the north, but the drug trade is more active in the south of Albania. Family clans are stronger in the villages, but the drug traffic goes on mainly in the cities.
Nonetheless, they acknowledge the difficulty of imposing Western notions of an impartial, equal and nationwide system of justice on a society in which the state has not been respected and where many people have traditionally governed themselves by a medieval code based on strict loyalty to the local community.
Where there is demand - and Europe by some estimates accounts for about one third of the world market in illegal drugs - there will also be those willing to supply it: farmers growing opium poppies in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan; criminal gangs controlling the transit trade; local dealers; and legions of "mules" - obscure individuals who help in the smuggling.
Now, lets see what Guardian has to say:

Quote:
Kosovo drug mafia supply heroin to Europe

International agencies fighting the drug trade are warning that Kosovo has become a "smugglers' paradise" supplying up to 40% of the heroin sold in Europe and North America.

Nato-led forces, struggling to keep peace in the province a year after the war, have no mandate to fight drug traffickers; and - with the expulsion from Kosovo of the Serb police, including the "4th unit" narcotics squad - the smugglers are running the "Balkan route" with complete freedom.

The peacekeepers of K-For "may as well be coming from another planet when it comes to tackling these guys," said Marko Nicovic, a lawyer and vice-president of the international narcotics enforcement officers association, based in New York.

"It's the hardest narcotics ring to crack because it is all run by families and they even have their own language. Kosovo is set to become the cancer centre of Europe, as western Europe will soon discover,"
he said.

He estimates that the province's traffickers are now handling between 4.5 and five tonnes of heroin a month and growing fast, compared to the two tonnes they were shifting before the Kosovo war of March-June last year, when Nato bombing forced Serbia's regime to pull out of the largely ethnic-Albanian province.

"It's coming through easier and cheaper - and there's much more of it. The price is going down and if this goes on we are predicting a heroin boom in western Europe as there was in the early 80s."

A heroin trafficker in Belgrade confirmed to the Guardian that since the war the Kosovo heroin dealers, most of them from four main families, are concentrating on the western Europe and US markets.

A kilo of heroin that is worth £10,000 in Kosovo or £20,000 in Belgrade can make £40,000 on the British, Italian or Swiss markets, said that 24-year-old heroin middleman. He expected the Kosovo route to grow: "There's nobody to stop them."

Only half the promised 5,000 policemen have arrived to join the peace operation in the province, which is now the main route for heroin flowing through some of the world's most troubled countries, Afghanisatan, northern Iran, the southern states of the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kosovo and into western Europe and the US

"It is the Colombia of Europe,"
said Mr Nikovic, who was the chief of the Yugoslav narcotics force until 1996. "When Serb police were burning houses in Kosovo they were finding it [heroin] stuffed in the roof. As far as I know there has not been a single report in the last year of K-For seizing heroin. They are soldiers not criminal investigators."


The Kosovo Albanian mafia is almost untouchable. "Everything is worked out on the basis of the family or clan structure, the Fic (brotherhood), so it is impossible to plant informers," said Mr Nicovic.

"Their diaspora have been in Turkey and Germany since Tito's communist purges so the whole route is set up. Now they have found the one country between Asia and Europe which is not a member of Interpol."

To Britain, he said, there are two routes: "By truck through Germany, Belgium and France and then via Dover - and also through Budapest, Poland, the Netherlands, then to Britain."

Responsibility for organising police work in Kosovo "is a grey area", said the Nato official, but "if organised crime goes on thriving it will have intenational ramifications".
Lets see what Telegraph learned about the Albanian "peaceful and oppressed flower breeders":

Quote:
Rebels spend drug millions on guns

EXTREMIST Albanian rebels seeking to start a new round of conflict in the southern Balkans have been buying millions of pounds worth of weapons with the proceeds of heroin smuggling from Afghanistan to the streets of a dozen European capitals.

Senior drug trade analysts from the United Nations Drug Control Programme in Vienna and Western police officials say much of the heroin being sold in countries such as Austria, Germany and Switzerland is starting to come from multi-billion pound stocks of Afghan heroin in Central Asia.

Much of it is controlled by al-Qa'eda and the former Taliban regime.

European drug squad officers say Albanian and Kosovar Albanian dealers are ruthlessly trying to seize control of the European heroin market, worth up to £12 billion a year, and have already taken over the trade in at least six European countries.
Western intelligence officials in Kosovo, Macedonia and Switzerland say Albanian gangs have used at least £3 million of their heroin profits since October last year to buy weapons to re-equip rebels in Macedonia who gave up their weapons to Nato troops last autumn.
But Dr Thomas Pietschmann, a senior researcher with the UNDCP in Vienna, says bumper opium harvests in Afghanistan in 1999 and 2000 mean that stockpiles of heroin and opium worth between £30 billion and £50 billion are still held by Afghan, Pakistani and other groups.
"This is enough to keep every addict in Europe supplied for three years, even if another poppy is not grown in Afghanistan, and leave some over for the increasing market in Russia," he said.
Police chiefs are particularly worried about the arrival of a new brand of heroin from Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is 80 per cent pure, known as Heroin No 4, or "white heroin".
The UNDCP says recent large seizures of drugs heading into the European Union across the eastern boundary that stretches from Poland, Germany and Finland southwards to Turkey have all proved to be white heroin that has come from Afghanistan and Pakistan via Central Asia.
Police say Albanian criminal gangs have taken over the heroin trade along this border, muscling in on gangland turf formally controlled by Russians, Ukrainians, Czechs and Turks.
"The rebels in Macedonia, former KLA freedom fighters in Kosovo, and extremist Albanians in southern Serbia are all part of the network of Albanian and Kosovar Albanian families who control criminal networks in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and elsewhere," said a Western intelligence official in the province.

"Albanians account for up to 90 per cent of our problems with drugs and drugs dealings," said Thomas Koeppel, a senior Swiss police official involved in the war against drugs.
Norwegian police made the country's largest heroin haul last month, arresting three ex-guerrillas from the Kosovo Liberation Army.
The Drugs Investigative Committee in Bavaria announced that seven Albanians at the centre of a drug ring that spanned Europe had been arrested in a multi-national operation this month. Group members were captured with 120lb of heroin, which they were smuggling from the Balkans to Scandinavia, via Italy, Austria and Switzerland and it is estimated that they had already moved at least 200lb of the drug to other suppliers.

Lets continue with Times Online:

Quote:
Rampage of the mafia may delay Kosovo independence

KOSOVO, the former Yugoslav province, is falling into the grip of Albanian organised crime gangs, casting a shadow over attempts by the international community to turn it into a fully fledged independent state by the end of this year.

Participants in talks in Vienna, sponsored by the United Nations, on the “final status” of Kosovo, are concerned that the mafia networks that smuggled guns into the disputed province from Albania in 1997 and 1998 are using the same channels for a burgeoning trade in illicit petrol, cigarettes and cement. Prostitution and drugs are also popular staples of the black economy.

The profits are ploughed into shopping centres and hotels, which are going up as part of a building boom in the province. Petrol stations are especially popular — there are more than 2,000 of them catering for a population of 2m in a territory the size of Devon. Many are believed to be part of a money laundering racket, controlled by a few of the largest clan families, involving oil smuggled in from Montenegro.

Despite attempts by Soren Jessen-Petersen, head of the UN mission in Kosovo, to downplay the extent of the problem, UN officials admit the corruption extends deep into the heart of the Kosovo government.

“Crime groups have been able to operate with impunity,” said Marek Antoni Nowicki, Poland’s leading human rights lawyer and the UN’s international ombudsman for Kosovo until last year.

“You have a criminal state in real power — it needs underground illegal structures to supply it with everything to survive. These networks can rely on the weakness of the public institutions to sanction their operations.”

On Friday the UN’s internal watchdog, the Office of Internal Oversight, accused Jessen-Petersen of turning a blind eye to widespread fraud at Pristina airport. He protested that the accusation was “entirely unwarranted”.

Kosovo is still technically part of Serbia: Vojislav Kostunica, the Serbian prime minister, argues that Belgrade must retain some form of control.

The fight against corruption is complicated by the fact that the task is shared between different bodies of varying degrees of competence.

“The aim is to keep the criminals under control,” said Nowicki. “The question is can the international community do it? It is very doubtful.”
And some more Times Online:

Quote:
Albanians take over organised crime

Just hours after David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, warned that Europe’s stability was threatened by organised crime, prostitutes were earning millions of pounds for Albanian gangsters.

Highlighting the rise of gangs from the south east of Europe, Mr Blunkett said:
“Organised criminals are more organised than we are.”

Scotland Yard estimates that Albanian gangs control about 75 per cent of prostitution in Soho. Many of the women and children caught up in the trade are the victims of a modern form of slavery, kidnapped or tricked into coming to Britain. Moreover, about three quarters of the heroin coming from Afghanistan to Britain’s streets will pass through Albanian hands.

Albanians and Kosovans in Britain are said to be involved in extortion, gun-running and organised theft. They are even alleged to have plotted the kidnap of Victoria Beckham.

They have been reported not only in London, but in Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hull — a hub of Albanian people-smuggling — and, improbably, Telford in Shropshire. During the past two years a similar pattern has been reported from Milan to the American Midwest, where Albanians are emerging as the would-be superstars of crime to rival the Sicilian Mafia, the Chinese Triads and the Russian mob.

One of the problems facing law enforcement agencies is that Albanian criminals are governed by a code of honour that makes the Mafia’s omerta resemble little more than a casual word of warning. The Kanun, or Code, dates back to the 15th century and was drawn up by Leke Dukagjini, an Albanian prince who was a leading figure in the war with the Ottoman Turks. It covered not only marriage, family law and property, but also matters of honour, under which a besa, or pledge, must never be broken.

The Kanun continued to govern everyday life among the clans in the north and east of the country until well into the 20th century. Blood feuds became endemic as clan members avenged the killing of their own with the murder of a member of the rival clan.

Enver Hoxha, the dictator who led Albania after the Second World War, did his utmost to keep the lid on the code and the outside world never came into contact with the outlaws who observed it.

With the collapse of communism in 1989, however, bandits whose lives and crimes had changed little over the previous 600 years emerged from the Cold War, ready to break into more modern rackets.

Gang members began to seep across the border in the early Nineties. The trickle began to resemble a flood after the war in Kosovo. Initially they worked as muscle for Turkish and Kurdish drug-smuggling gangs, but police say they have emerged as contenders in their own right.

Albanian crime clans are organised according to ancient patterns of rural life. The head of each clan, or the krye, leads a group of underbosses known as kryetar, who will usually be blood relations. They sit on a committee called a bajrack.

It is the bajrack that decides on new enterprises: the money needed for a brothel in Soho, for example, will come from the committee, and a proportion of the profits will always be sent to its home village.
However, heroin is not the only buseiness of interest to the "oppressed" poor Albanians. They realized human trafficking and prostitution to be very good income source as well. This is BBC reporting:

Quote:
Italy's sexual slave trade

In the first of two special reports, the BBC's Brian Barron investigates Italy's clandestine trade in sexual slaves and the Albanian criminals behind the business.

It is estimated that there could be more than 40,000 foreign prostitutes on the streets of Italy - and the numbers are increasing.

The streetwalkers venture out every night after 10, on the edge of big cities like Rome.

Each trip was awful but that was my choice. If I returned to Albania I was dead.

In the Eor district, they are Albanian or from other former communist countries.

Most are controlled by Albanian mafia gangsters. A handful have travelled to Italy through their own efforts.

One streetwalker whose identity must be kept secret recalls her particular journey.

"I came by boat," she says.

"I was smuggled in. I had tried four times. It was a horrible trip."

"It was winter, cold and raining. It was a terrible risk. I saw dead people with my own eyes."

"Each trip was awful but that was my choice. If I returned to Albania I was dead."

"Dead or alive - this was my only choice."

"They are brought here," she says.

"Their passports are destroyed often, usually as a matter of fact they are tortured to break their wills."

"They're moved around from place to place so they don't know where they are. They don't speak the language."

"They're terrified and they can't escape. They're held in slavery."

Poverty

For many of the girls, the journey began in their Albanian homeland.

In Durres, most people are out of work, surviving on remittances from relatives abroad, like the girls on the streets of Italy.

In its poverty and human desperation it is typical of countless Albanian communities.

Once Albania was an all-powerful communist police state. It is now a country beyond the rule of law.

The police chief of Durres, Colonel Albert Pilo, is having a difficult time stamping out the smuggling of young girls.

"We've arrested at least three. But a big problem is what to do with the girls caught up in the system, especially if they come from outside Albania."

"The fact is we do not have any organisation for helping them."

"At times we've had to keep the girls in prison because there's nowhere for them to go."

Dramatic pictures, taken two years ago, show one of the speedboats of the Albanian mafia being intercepted by Italian security forces.

An Albanian mafia speedboat with its human cargo heads for Italy

Eighty girls have collaborated. They have been rewarded with the right to remain in Italy and, when necessary, new identities.

However, 500 declined because they were afraid of the godfathers.

Oops, more and more sources and information starting to pop up!

So, lets continue. We wouldn't want to stop now, would we?

It's getting hotter in here as we progress toward human trafficking and child labour...

OK, here we go.

Good ol'BBC reporting:

Quote:
Albanian mafia steps up people smuggling


Children are pawns in Albanian mafia smuggling operations

In his second special report from the southern Adriatic, the BBC's Brian Barron investigates how Albanian gangsters are profiting from human trafficking

One of Italy's top anti-Mafia magistrates says Albanian gangsters are taking control of organised crime on both sides of the Adriatic.

The most lucrative commodities are illegal immigrants.

Everything passes via the Albanians. The road for drugs and arms and people...is in Albanian hands

Cataldo Motta, Italian anti-mafia prosecutor
In fact, trafficking in people is the world's fastest growing criminal business. In the past year, nearly 200 died trying to reach Italy.

Last week, two Italian policemen were killed as well as two Albanian smugglers, in a chase and collision in the Adriatic.

It is in this region - amid reports of more clandestine landings - that the police scour the beaches.

Large scale trafficking

However, the coast is so vast that only a small percentage of illegal immigrants are caught.

Reliable figures on the scale of people smuggling are hard to come by.

Italian warships aren't able to stop people smuggling from Albania


There are believed to be between 20 and 40 million illegal immigrants in the world.

Several million are believed to be in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Germany.

Italian warships are highly visible in Albanian ports in a vain attempt to deter clandestine operations.

However, Italian commanders told me they have no powers to intervene, let alone use force.

One of Italy's top prosecutors, Cataldo Motta, who has identified Albania's most dangerous mobsters, says they are a threat to Western society.

"Albanian organised crime has become a point of reference for all criminal activity today," he says.

"Everything passes via the Albanians. The road for drugs and arms and people, meaning illegal immigrants destined for Europe, is in Albanian hands."

When the prosecutor leaves his office, three police bodyguards are at his side because of the risk of assassination by Albanian gangsters.

Child labour

The latest pawns of the people smugglers are children.

Smuggled children, once in Italy, aren't usually returned to Albania
The Italian authorities will not order the enforced repatriation of anyone under 18 and the gangsters are aware of this.

At a transit camp for illegals from all over the world, 35 young Albanian teenagers are being prepared for life in Italy.

They were consigned to smugglers' boats by their families.

Roberto Matrandold, a psychiatrist, says that the children suffer from stress.

"The stress comes from the voyage itself which is more and more dangerous," he says.


I think it is the biggest problem we face in Italy and in Europe because there's so much money being made which was not the case before

Laura Balbo, adviser to the Italian prime minister
"And the kids are also under pressure from their parents, back in Albania, who've sent them over to Italy with orders to somehow find work or make money to send home."

In Rome, at a Vatican-sponsored convention, delegates heard warnings about far greater numbers of illegal immigrants in the years ahead.

Laura Balbo, an adviser to the prime minister, says that Italy wants co-ordinated European action.

"I think it is the biggest problem we face in Italy and in Europe because there's so much money being made which was not the case before," she says.

"It has become the main source of money for organised crime."

Italy's attitude towards illegal immigrants is hardening

"So it is hard to imagine how we can fight this kind of international organisation."

Public attitudes towards illegal immigrants are hardening.

They are blamed for rising crime. In fact, Italy is chronically short of workers because of its falling birth-rate and growing economy.

Paradoxically, as operations intensify against people smugglers, the door is about to be opened for many more legal immigrants.
Another interesting article is known as The Albanian connection.

Now lets see about the Osama Bin Laden - Albanian connection, so firmly rejected by the Albanians on this forum. BBC once again:

Quote:
US fears terrorist attack in Kosovo



US officials have come under criticism over a raid by K-For military police on an Islamic relief organisation in Kosovo last weekend.

The police, who were acting on a tip-off from US officials, raided a house rented by the Saudi Joint Relief Committee (SJRC).

The operation followed fears of a possible terrorist attack on the US office in the province.

US security officials say they believe members of the SJRC are linked with Osama bin Laden, the man suspected of being behind the attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

In a separate incident British soldiers blew up a suspect car belonging to an employee of the charity.

The owner had stuck an SJRC sticker to his windscreen.

Neither incident revealed any evidence that could link the group with any terrorist activity.

Suspicious photos

K-For officials say the operations were part of increased security measures introduced after two members of the group were supposedly seen taking photos near the US office and K-For headquarters in Pristina.

Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden: Allegedly linked to the charity
New vehicle checkpoints have been introduced in the area, and visitors to both compounds are obliged to enter on foot.

It is not the first time the US officials here have raised concern about the charity.

Before Christmas a warning was given of a possible threat to US citizens in Kosovo.

Secret document

In a document seen by the BBC in Pristina, US officials called on the UN police force in the province to undertake open surveillance of the group.

Marked "Secret: US office only - Release to UNMIK" the report names two former members of the charity.

It claims Adel Muhammad Sadiq Bin Kazem, and Wa'el Hamza Jalaidan, the Committee's former Director, are "associates of Osama bin Laden" and that Mr Jalaidan helped Mr bin Laden "move money and men to and from the Balkans".

The claims are being strongly denied by the group.

A spokesman for the group says they were "stunned" by the raids, and are awaiting an explanation from K-For.

They have also offered to open up all their files for K-For or police officials to look at.

Bad publicity

The Relief Committee works as an umbrella body for several Saudi NGO's including the Saudi Red Crescent, and has a multi million-dollar budget partly financed by the Saudi government.

Some K-For and UN officials say the US is concerned with avoiding American casualties in the run-up to the presidential elections

It works with the UNHCR and the World Food Programme, and has worked with K-For on the rebuilding of several schools in the province.

The group's Assistant Director, Faisal Alshami, said he was disappointed at what he saw was an attempt to paint his organisation in a bad light.

"We have spent a lot of money here, trying to help people, we really hope this is not an attempt to curtail our work" he said.

Privately some K-For and UN police officials say the US is highly concerned about "force protection", or avoiding US casualties, in the run-up to presidential elections later this autumn, and is reacting to even the slightest threats.

Now, one should stop and ask himself: is there a connection between new US controlled Afghanistan, being world's top heroin producer, Pakistan, being US ally, Turkey - US ally again, and the independent Kosovo, supported by Uncle Sam, knowing that this is the main road of world's heroin.

Opinions, please!

Actually, it's not.

If you had looked at the material more carefully, you would have noticed that I cited BBC, Guardian, Times Online, and other prominent news agencies. There are no words of mine in those texts.

And then again, I see nothing funny in Albanian drug smuggling, human and organ trafficking and child labor, including poisoning Europan children. If you find that funny - keep laughing.

Why do you guys forget that serbs are also involved in these types of activities? Every Ethnicity will surely have a criminal element. For obvious reasons the Albanian involvement in criminal activites is exagerated by its enemies. look at these.

ok , ok , ok leme see!
we first have to know :
what are the pouropse of this articles?the real situation and the way showed? are this articles put in a way to propagandise? illusive way!
And here is attacked not only Kosova but everything albanian to propagandise and show the world something with no bases ! leme see the other side of the coin!
A pure examle how George Clooney supports serbian sovreignity over Kosova:

lets check the dates of the articles first to analize the situation:
As we see most of this articles come from about eight (five of them) years ago to 7, 5 , and 2 years ago! There is one about a decade ago! lol 1998 news on mafia! ppl hv to bring about lucky luchiano to refresh ! lol humiliating.... things have changed a lot . We are independent now and did a lot of reforms!
When it comes to illegal traffic organisations have monthly upfates! please check a lil on albania! and u will clarely see the propaganda here!
In the first picture posted there is one route that goes through albania, but u can see in serbia two roots joining eachother.
The first route goes from Romania to Golubac region in Serbia and joins the second route that comes from Bulgaria into serbia. Going all up over the border to Hungary.
So where most of the drugs pass from?
As we can see Albania is used as a port to jump to italy only and is no droug routes in Kosova , NONE!
And the 80% number is just fantasy n thrill, no link to support that just a number! just to take a shot!lol!
This propaganda by amusedtodeath is HUMILIATING for someone who want a welfare of the balkans region

I repeat, those articles and texts WERE NOT made by Serbs, so you can't call it Serbian propaganda.

Those are articles and news from BBC, Guardian, Times online, INTERPOL and other sources.

And nobody is exaggerating, Albanian mafia is the most powerful and dangerous criminal organization in the world today. Even FBI admits that Russian mafia uses much more sophisticated means than Albanians.

And Serbs have an immunity to drugs, crimes, etc, eh.

It's easy to point the finger on someone else, when one chooses to look past their own rubbish on the backyard, that is tenfold.
