“Albanians control transatlantic cocaine route”, DailyMail: Supply to South America

This consisting was made today by the Daily Mail following an investigation that identified the base of traffic as Ecuador, and the final market in Great Britain.

The investigation highlights the true cost of “the cocaine epidemic” in the United Kingdom.

Britain's cocaine market is thought to total 2 billion pounds, also referring to the fact that there are about 976,000 users.

Meanwhile, the annual number of cocaine-related deaths has numbered in only a decade, reaching 840.

Research by the National Crime Agency has shown that Albanian organised crime groups control the cocaine market in all major cities and the peripheral areas of Britain (with the exception of Mercedeside, where local gangsters remain at the helm of criminal groups).

The same drug barons have taken over by iron control of Ecuador's cocaine distribution, which has also led them to engage in bloody fighting with local cartels in order to take possession of influential areas.

According to sources, a mysterious figure of the crime world from Albania, known only by initials, is said to be one of the crime organisers at the helm of a network of drug dealers that supplied cocaine to high-class professionals, travelers and students.

At the beginning of this week, it turned out that global cocaine production has reached record levels with the return of demand after the deadlocks caused by Coddy's pandemic.

Last month, a leading Ecuadoran Congressman discovered how the threat of Albanian mafia has infected his country through violence and bribery to build an illegal millions of dollars in cocaine purchase at a lower price in Latin America and its trading in Europe.

Fernando Villaviccio, president of the Congress's monitoring committee, said about 4,000 Albanians live in Ecuador.

The “Drug Trafficking, Corruption and other forms of organised crime have contaminated a large part of the equadorian state system, the political class and parties, the institutions of justice, the financial system, and even the rule forces responsible for fighting organised crime”, he has declared.

The cocaine smuggled from Ecuador to Britain usually hides in containers and enters through the ports of Rotterdam or Antwerp, which have also seen a major increase in drug-related gangs' crime.

As discovered in the Dailymail documentary, parts of Ecuador have returned to the Wild West” as Albanians and South American cartels fight each other.

During nearly a month in Ecuador, journalists from the Daily Mai were invited by local institutions to narcotics operations and saw two fishermen being arrested trying to smuggle cocaine worth $20m on Ecuador's coast.

In the second part of the British media investigation, it's about an Ecuadoran boss who broke the Mafia code of silence to find out how his gang is working with Albanian traffickers to transport drugs to Europe.

In an extraordinary confession, he shows how he carried out his first assassination attack at the age of 14.

Daily Maill also reveals the unexpounded history of one of Albania's most notorious narcoticsists, who has been released prematurely from a prison in Ecuador.

Dritan Rexhepi has been named <x0). The king of the escape” due to his escape from prisons in Belgium and Albania; and “cocaine king” for his success in introducing cocaine into Europe.

He now appears determined to use a legal vacuum to avoid extradition to Europe, which is required for a series of crimes linked to gangs, including murder.

Rexhepi, who was presented on the list of “Most Wanted” in Scotland Yard, is typical of many Ecuador-based Albanian narcotics dealers who, bypassing traditional mediators, negotiate directly with cocaine producers in South America and command the entire supply chain of narcotics from South America to Europe, in particular the United Kingdom. /BalkanWeb
