For Federico Cafiro De Raho, Italy's Antimafia prosecutor, the operation to break up the drug trafficking network, led by Albanians, is a very important international operation.
During a press conference at the Florence Court, he said this operation highlighted the role of Albanians and demonstrated how strong the capacity of these criminal organisations is.
This operation highlighted the role of Albanian drug traffickers and demonstrated the strength of these criminal organisations, which have established stable relations with drug traffickers in South America”
A credit cardel was made up of 20 people -- all Albanians -- capable of importing tons of cocaine into Europe, using sea routes and transiting drugs through major continental ports. A mechanism that follows the rules and organization of major South American traffickers from which drugs came. ”
He added that Albanian criminals have great skills, directly dealing with drug traffickers' cartels in Latin America.
We sometimes think that Albanian criminal organisations are second-level. Operation “Los Blancos” demonstrates that Albanian criminals have great skills by directly dealing with drug traffickers' cartels in Latin America, providing them with stable relations. The investigations also made it possible to ascertain the existence of an Albanian criminal superstructuring, a kind of ndodhinkole, from which the strategic directives came. ”
The criminal organisation made up of Albanians, considered one of the most active cocaine trafficking networks in Europe, was hit by an operation conducted in 10 different states.
According to an EUROOPOL announcement, the group named “COMM THE BELO” is now considered destroyed after the arrests of 20 members, while another 84 had been arrested in Italy, Ecuador, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany in the past years.
