The big news becomes even more alarming when its source is not the media, which may also have speculation doses, but Italian Interior Minister Marco Miniti himself. According to the report presented to the Italian Parliament, Minister Minitt found that at least one of the Sicilian mafia families has entered into strong co-operation with Albanian drug traffickers, also establishing its bases in our country.
Italy's Interior Minister in the report presenting parliament's work on by the Anti-Mafia Directorate for the second 6th month of 2016 several times mentions Albanian drug traffickers as co-workers of “Cosa Nostra”, but pages 64-65 mention a concrete name. According to the report, a member of the Carollo Mafia family from Palermo had established a gang that brought cannabis from Albania to Milan. “Even the activity of drug trafficking is the sector that has allowed us, in this six-month, to understand from the signals received the extent of the operation of COSA NOSRA and Albania.
During the “Rubens” operation, completed in November by State Police, a criminal organisation, which was detained in Milan, active in importing marijuana from Albania, including the son of a member of the CAROLLO family of Palermos”, is said in the report of Italy's Minister of Brandsem. A case identified in November 2016 is mentioned when nearly 1 tons of cannabis was seized in Catania in Sicily. “Investigations have made it possible to identify Albania as the origin of cargo, the coast of Poulias as an entrance and road axis of Calabria as a Transit channel for Sicily”, the report says.
Another element is the increasing criminal activity of Albanian drug traffickers who are already dealing with cannabis as well as cocaine - strong drugs. Italian authorities have been alarmed because Albanians from cannabis suppliers have become the biggest cocaine traffickers, bringing them from their native country to Latin America to be sold in Italy, or to distribute it further to Europe.
The Italian minister in his report refers to the operation “Ocean”, where 18 people were arrested, where Albanians were 11 and Italians 7, among Italians were the logistical part of the group that found secret bases and unreceptive phones. The group had two chiefs -- an Italian and an Albanian -- who specialised in cannabis and heroin.
Albania has long been the Balkan drug route for Italian mafia families, and co-operation with Albanians is very old. But already in the Italian Mafia families, many Albanians have infiltrated their careers within families. The current “Cosa Nostra” is also establishing its bases in Albania. /The businessman. com
