CARTEL drugs barons trained up Albanian gangsters to flood the UK

Albanian crews rule the drugs underworld in the UK - from London & Manchester to Scotland - but they learned the brutal tricks of the trade after flying out to Latin America more than 20 years ago.
It was here that they set up a secret network and even sent out their own “ambassadors” to live there and keep the supply of cocaine flowing, an expert has revealed.

Decades after first setting foot in Mexico and Colombia the gangs are using their contacts to mimic the long success of the Italian mafia.

Britain has become such a lucrative market for cocaine that “freelancers” in Latin America are even in bloody competition to broker deals between the cartels and UK gangs.

It is unknown exactly how often or what direct contact the gangs in the UK have with the cartels themselves, but the Albanians living in Latin America are said to be the “crucial” link between them.

A drugs gang expert told The Sun: “Their relationship is successful. Despite some murders, it has been very successful.

“The fact we see a lot of shipments arriving in Europe which the Albanians have got control of shows it is up and running.

“It’s a solid and well-established connection between the Albanians and the cartels. Very solid and well-established.”

But, given the Albanian gangs' dominance, there is competition to broker deals for them and the biggest cartels which is so fierce that at least five have been murdered so far.

Maybe we have far too many foreign criminals here in the uk?

The Sun... rofl. You do know the UK have been trading weapons with Albania for years and years.. adding to problems of course.

The Albanians recruit, so called refugees, in France who come over by boat, to their dirty work. This has been raised in the past by the media. This of course ties in nicely with above post.
However, whenever something negative is said about the both people, one is shot down aggressively. If this criminal and economically driven immigration is not stop soon, the sh*t will hit the fan in a big way.

Defending Albanian criminals isn't how I read Pixies post, I suspect the rofl comes from this being reported in the Sun which has never been the most reliable source of news.


Did the Sun provide any evidence for their claims or was it all presented as a fait accompli? Funny how this is such a big story for a Tory leaning newspaper when theres so many other stories showing Tory sleeze, like the director general of the BBC being investigated for fascilitating an £800k loan to Boris Johnson and Nadim Zahawi's tax affairs.

I read it the same but is the Sun less likely to reveal atrocities than other news media? I don't think so. They seem quite good at getting to good stories.

Glad someone has some sense Hen. No I wasn't defending Albanians, I wasn't attacking them either, I'm saying we likely helped to build up issues there by supplying arms in the first place! Has anyone stopped to think why all of a sudden the media are releasing all of this Anti immigrant news? just asking? to me it's obvious.. but has anyone else stopped to think about it?The Sun is one of the worst media sources out there. You know who owns it and you know exactly what audience it plays up to, all of a sudden these outbursts come at a time when our GOV are treating anyone at all that enters this country either as an immigrant or asylum seekers/refugees as absolute shite, it comes at a time where they want to slap chains on innocent people for a start. Let alone the new rules brought in tomorrow that nobody can post videos of immigrants coming into the country online in a positive light. The right wing media are just manipulating and grooming their readers for their mates in the Tory government to gain the reactions and responses the government desires from their brainwashed audience so that people become agreeable, supportive of it. Liverpool had the right idea banning The Sun, now there's a City with sense.  

Another dog whistle thread, stirring hate, fear and division. Only a fool would run with this dead cat story. Molly win's the prize of easily led.

Not really a case of rofl. Why are you defending Albanian criminals?

There will always be some defending the criminals.

There will always be people who can't read and understand posts properly too. 

ROFL

I suppose a ROFL is ok on the subject of sexual assault too?

Do not take my ROFL and put into the wrong context, twisting my ROFL..,  I'm ROFL at the ignorance of people on this thread. Not the subject itself. ignorant posts and foolish. 

Fluff, and there is you, who constantly opposes everything and everybody’s point of view with your leftish attitude.

It's not leftist. The UK have been trading weapons with Albania for years and years, billions in tax payers money in weapons that go to these organisations that you're complaining about. An industry we have very likely helped to grow supplying weapons. Its not leftist its truth Sam.There seems to be this influx of Albainian hatred. I'm wondering if anyone realises that there are other organised crime sources in the U.K that organise and deal with these things too. Cocaine trade isn't new here.. I mean you could even ask some people in the gov, traces found there apparently too... so who keeps that trade in business? Why aren't there heavy duty operations in place to stop it?

To the shame of us all, the UK exports weapons, including torture instruments, all over the world and to some of the most unsavoury governments. But then this dirty trade has gone on for decades, if not centuries.
The Albanians have been known for decades, to commit crimes, especially the slave sex trade, all over Europe. In London several pickpocket bands are operating right now. So I don’t understand, why you aim to protect and defend them. Albania is not at war with anyone, so the population has no need to flee the country. Why then come here?

How do you know why people flee? Maybe people are fleeing from organised crime gangs? How do you know? They go through a processing to determine as asylum seekers, that decision depends upon their circumstances. Its not for you to say.

I'm not going to jump the anti immigrant band wagon Sam because I don't belive that all people that come here seeking asylum or who just want to work here are bad or criminal at all. I'm not dismissing there may be organised crime, but there is organised crime in other areas that is just as bad or worse. That's down for the police and specialist team to sort out. So why aren't they? 

One can theorising about anything and everything, just like you did just now. I feel you look at things through specific glasses and refuse to accept reality. Of course this is your privilege. The facts stand for themselves. A great many people want to come to this country, because they expect better life’s, which we, unfortunately, provide, to our detriment. It doesn’t seem to register, that this country cannot longer accept these economic migrants. As a consequence it is necessary to be much more selective, careful and firm with the fast processing of these people. Of course you do not agree with this and seem happy to let every Tom, Dick and Harry into this country.

The fact is when people come here across the waters the authorities decide if they're deemed as illegal immigrants or asylum seekers. That's a fact. And what determines that fact is usually they're fleeing from danger. You assume the only source of danger is a war? That's your speculation once again 

You’ve got a nerve Samx, saying what you say about others coming to this country when your a migrant yourself and you very seldom answer questions you have been asked, if at all.

There is no doubt that a very high percentage of criminals in this country are fairly recent immigrants. Many of them have spent their lives in countries where violent crime runs riot and death means very little. I don't think our criminals are tough enough to fight them off.

Is there no doubt HoW? Or do you choose not to notice the home grown ones, do foreigners stick out more for you? It seems a strange sort of patriotism to say that, '..you don't think our criminals are tough enough to fight them off'.

Agreed Hen.. Thinking on the other thread these kidnapped kids, the words asylum seekers used in the title, is that distracting from the fact that kids are in danger? is it changing attitudes putting that label on it, wonder what the responses would be if asylum seeking was missing from the post and it read, kids being kidnapped.. completely different responses I bet. Has anyone googled the statistics of how many prisoners aren't immigrants in the UK?

I don't think there is the slightest doubt. I'm judging by what happens around me and what I see for myself and living in a violent, high crime area I do see a lot.
No patriotism here just calling it as I see it. Most of the tough gangsters/dealers/people smugglers in this area who carry guns or would chop your hands off are all foreign. Albanian, Vietnamese, Chinese with a few Russian pushing their way in. Our local hard men who ruled the roost 20 years ago are nobodies in todays criminal stakes.
