Albania has become a key base for supplying Europe with drugs.
This is what the Democratic Party Chair, Lulzim Basha said after the meeting of the DPs parliamentary group.
According to him, these is not just the words of the opposition, but have also been confirmed by the US State Department and other European law enforcement agencies, such as Europol.
Crime, politics and business have become one, said Basha, convinced that significant amounts of drugs, such as the 613 kilograms of cocaine seized in Durres yesterday, could not pass through Albania without political support.
“Cannabis was just the beginning. Heroin and cocaine are two main criminal activities of organized Albanian crime. We have warned that crime, politics and business have become one.
“This is proven not only by the businessman involved in the cocaine trade with Colombia, but also by the fact accepted by all that such a quantity of cocaine could not pass from Albania without political support at the highest level.” said Lulzim Basha.
Besides becoming a crime free-for-all, Basha said that Albania has also turned into a washing machine for cleaning dirty money.
“Where will the crime money be cleaned? At the Municipality of Tirana, of course, which is the main Laundromat tor drug money and any other crime sectors where millions of Euros need to be cleaned.
“This is what is actually destroying the economy,” said Lulzim Basha.
The Opposition leader said that the economy is collapsing because, in this country, nothing is being produced except drugs, corruption and criminality. According to him, the only solution is the government’s removal.
