American Ambassador: Start arresting “

Let's talk in action, not word. We expect this aggressive plan of the Government of Albania to end with the arrest and prosecution of several large fish early next year and this success to continue with SPAK”, Ambassador Donald Lu said.

That is what international partners expect, Lu said, as well as Albanian citizens. Lou appreciated the plan.

“You have a “sunflower appears to be in the morning”. We like that this action plan clearly and certainly acknowledges that Albanian organised crime is a serious problem and a threat to national security. So far criminal justice agencies have failed criminal groups”, he follows.

The ambassador said Albania has a problem with the links of criminal groups to politicians and demanded that this not be denied.

If you deny this, consider the cases of Arben Ndoka, Mark Frockk, Elvis Rosh and Gentian Mahmutaj. The US will engage strongly against organised crime despite links it may have with politicians, businessmen, judges and prosecutors”, he said.

And returning to popular expressions, the U.S. top diplomat said it's time to eat the big fish “.

“You say the “the big fish eats the small”. For once in Albania let's eat the big fish”, he said.

Meanwhile, Minister Fatmir Xhafaj said the plan and the establishment of the task force is a new and determined approach of the government for a frontal fight against crime structures.

The “is a new route for the law enforcement institutions. We wage multiple war on crime structures. The government has all the will and mechanisms for this war. Establishing special force is a significant indication of taking legal and political responsibility from this government”, Xhafaj said.

The minister said that despite the progress made, we are far from the standard of a society where law and justice rule.
