"Cross-legged crime in the government", international investigators

In the investigation of the German magazine DerSpiegel, the Italian prosecutor Francesco Mandoi has testified that the crime and drug lords are able to subdue the government of Edi Rama, since the government is working for them.

According to Mandoi, he himself had not received any response from the top of the government to his warnings.

Excerpt from the article

From cannabis to cocaine

Rama aims for a fourth term next year. With good prospects for success. "90 percent of the communities are now in his hands, almost under Russian conditions", says investigative journalist Klodiana Lala: "As long as someone stands up and says: "I personally put money before Edi Rama", nothing will happen to him. the law of mafia silence, the law of Omertà, will govern.

Several investigators confirm to Italian state television Rai and SPIEGEL that there are contacts at the highest level of government with organized crime.

The initial trade in cannabis had turned into the business of tons of cocaine. The Albanian Unidates have been linked to the Calabrian N'drangheta and Latin American cartels.

Italian prosecutor Francesco Mandoi, temporarily employed by Rama as an anti-corruption commissioner, draws a sober balance: "The drug lords have their people everywhere in the administration, in the institutions; now they are able to make the government docile."

He himself, according to Mandoi, had not received any response from the head of the government with his warnings.
