Curious about Albanian Mafia?

Here it is. The following link explain some recent developments of the investigations about Albanian people involved in organized crime around the world.

Does it have to do with Albania itself? Is it anyway connected to Albanian goverment? YES

The main name you find there, Almir Rrapo, after killing Erion Shehu in US, escaped in Albania, where he found a job as main assistant of the Albanian foreign minister. Everything went fine for him until one day he went to the American Embassy for a Visa application. There he was recognized and arrested. Soon his lawyers talked about illegitimate arrest (Albanian police have no jurisdiction inside the embassy, though they were asked by the embassy itself). Then his powerful lawyers asked the European court to stop his extradition. At the end, his arrest brought Albania in an unprecedented conflict with European Union, who opposed his extradition to the US for political reasons.

This is just a taste of how organized crime and Albanian Mafia have close collaborations with Albanian polititians and how can they bring the entire country to diplomatic conflicts with important partners.

This is Albania, my friends. It's a nice country waving between the desire to be in good partnership with foreign powers and the desire to become rich fast through corruption, murder, and international trafficking.
