“Business” The new Albanian mafia, 2500 per person/ British Media Reveals Shocking Numbers

Gangsters take over 2,500 pounds per person and are managing to traffic those who are desperate for a new life, including refugees from the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. They use ferries to transport these immigrants from Bilbao.

In her writing, the British newspaper says police in the northern city of Spain are facing difficulties managing numerous immigrants who have landed over the past three months.

In two years, there has been a tenfold increase in people trying to get into trucks or containers in port. But according to Spanish law, they do only one civil act, so the police only take their data and then release them.

Hundreds of others who stay in the camp waiting to go elsewhere cannot be affected because they are equipped with tourist visas.

“probe Sunday People” found that after handing over a large amount to the Mafia bosses, immigrants are given a phone and a total of 700 pounds in hand so that traffickers can handle their distribution in Britain.

Lying on promise of illegal work in London, in washing or building, they are unaware that they will end up at the mercy of gangs.

As they arrived in Bilbao, newspaper investigators found more than 100 people in tents and under highway bridges near the port perimeter.

British journalists talked to a young Albanian from Bishop, who stayed with his grandson and two others in a two-seat tent.

Ismaili, 29, talking to reporters of “Sunday People” said: “I wanted to go to England legally, but it's impossible. Now I have to go illegally”

I know there are people you can pay, but I don't have any money. I have to try to get there without money, trafficking myself“, the Albanian youth later confessed.

In 2015, police detained 119 immigrants who were trying to enter the port of Bilbao. In 2016 the number was 380. This year, the figures caught the record of 1200 immigrants.

Among the detainees were 60 Iraqis, 45 Afghans, and 25 Pakistanis. So far, the paper writes, 950 of them came from Albania.

In another camp, about 300m from the port of Bilbao, journalists found a large number of Albanians, mostly teenagers, and in their 20 ' s.

Some of them were leaving the former communist country after facing persecution over their ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion”, it is further said in writing.

However, the paper further writes, with high unemployment in the country among young people, many others are economic immigrants. The United Kingdom, with 20,000 Albanians living legally there, is the most popular destination for them.

A week ago, police destroyed two camps in the hills around Bilbao, while authorities have stepped up security measures. However, this has not prevented the traffickers or their “clientates” from falling apart.

As they arrive at the harbor, they are in danger of being seriously injured and even killed in an effort to start a new life in Britain.

Many leap into moving trucks or hide in trailers parked in hopes that they can secure their way.

Others are helped to get into containers, risking being asphyxiated as they wait for the doors to be opened again, as they have arrived at their destination. Some get thrown into boats while the vehicles are leaving the harbor.

Ismaili from the Bishop revealed further that he had been in Spain for a month.

There were more people when I arrived. Some gave up and moved to Italy, while others succeeded in moving to Britain”.

I know people who have managed to go and work in London on construction or other extra jobs that can”.

In a lame English, he said that he and his grandson had flown from Albania to Paris, had bought a tent, and had traveled to Bilbao by bus for 12 hours. The ticket for each had cost 70 euros.

Ismail, further written in her article The British newspaper, hopes to make money in Britain so as to keep his parents and other family members in Albania.

There's no work in my country. It's very difficult. Politicians don't know what they're doing. I'd love to work as a welder in England, but I'll do whatever I can. I just have to get there. ”

The rails make three passengers a week from Bilbao to Portsmouth. So far, only this year have 1765 migrants on board been detained. Of them, 66 were captured by the British Border Forces after they arrived in this country.

Associated director of the firm Roberto Castilla said: “Vendas are concerned about what might happen next. Traffickers work in groups to distract guards”.

Security does a good job, but the port has an area of 11 kilometers, so it's hard. Migrants stand at the top of the hills in order to have a complete view of the entire port”.

Castilla said further that the problem has deteriorated dramatically since 2012. We caught over 300 people a year at the time. Now it can go to 300 a month”.

The National Crime Agency has raised concerns of violent Albanian gangs, which control human and cocaine trafficking.

Spanish police said the number of migrants has increased since the camps were closed in Calais.

The largest number is from Albania, men and young people, so far we do as much as we can“, a police official told the paper. /tvclean. al
