"Guns, drugs and models", Daily Mail article about the luxurious life of Albanian gangsters in Britain

The Albanian mafia is one of the most mentioned topics in Great Britain. The prestigious media "Daily Mail" also wrote about this , where it devoted an article to the luxurious life of Albanian gangsters and criminals in Britain.

It mentions the names of several people as well as the expensive objects they own such as houses worth 600 thousand pounds and Rolex watches.

FULL WRITING:

With their model WAGs, £600,000 homes and diamond-encrusted Rolexes, Albanian rappers seem to have taken the top spot. Rappers such as MGee and Lucii are among dozens of artists amassing thousands of listeners on Spotify and YouTube thanks to their songs, which often promote gun and drug crime while slamming Britain's institutions. In social media posts and music videos, some rap stars appear to endorse the criminal lifestyle as they mock British police, calling them 'pigs' while boasting of owning 'Scorpion' assault rifles.

Fabion 'Gucci' Kuci and Azem 'Ziro' Dajci 'Falcons' brazenly filmed themselves inside Wormwood Scrubs prison cells while awaiting sentencing for theft and posted photos and footage on Instagram and YouTube. Their presence on social networks is suspected to be part of a PR campaign to recruit "soldiers" from Albania by tempting them with cash and luxury cars.

Last year it was revealed that many of the young Albanians leaving for England are boys who believe the stories of traffickers that they can get rich quick in the UK and many do so without their parents' consent.

Just this week, an Instagram story posted by rapper Lucii — who has never revealed his real face and is not part of the Hellbanianz gang — showed a lot of cash piled up next to dozens of Apple iPhones. He was also seen cruising the British roads in a luxury 4×4 with his co-star 'Hek' as they both showed off their bejeweled Rolex watches.

Lucii, who dons a series of Satan-like masks in his videos, has 125,000 followers on Instagram, to whom he posts photos of himself with bikini-clad women and videos of himself driving expensive cars.

Në një video tjetër, shqiptari me bazë në Londër, Ya Goddy, mburret se po ndiqet me makinë nga policia, të cilët ai i quan derra. Kjo vjen pasi reperi shqiptar Dijonis Biba u publikua në lajmet në vitin 2020 kur postoi ‘video udhëzuese’ në YouTube se si të hyje fshehurazi në Britani.

Këtë javë, artisti me bazë në Londër, OG Merks, u bë kryefjala e lajmeve për shfaqjen e muzikës pop në shtypjen e qeverisë mbi kalimet e Kanalit në një video të re muzikore. Reperi tallet me një fjalim të Sekretares së Brendshme Suella Braverman gjatë klipit në YouTube për këngën e tij “Marco From Tropoja”.

Reperi vendos një tufë parash përmes një makineri numërimi, ndërsa dëgjohet fjalimi i Braverman për ‘rritjen’ e shqiptarëve që ‘abuzojnë me ligjet moderne të skllavërisë’.

But it's no wonder that young Albanians want to emulate their country's biggest rap stars. A quick search on social media shows how Lyrical Son and Lazy are seen enjoying the party lifestyle in expensive nightclubs in Albania. Lazy is married to model Amina Shena Dollapi, who has worked on campaigns with the likes of Guess. She regularly posts modeling photos to her Instagram followers of over 320,000.

Last year, almost 13,000 Albanians crossed the Channel in small boats. Numbers fell from the autumn as the weather worsened, but Home Office officials have warned they expect another surge in Albanian arrivals this spring.
