TikTok 'job centre': How Albanian drug barons are recruiting young

Inside the TikTok Job Centre used by Albanian crime bosses to advertise £100,000-a-year drug dealer jobs

Albanian criminals are using TikTok to advertise £100,000-a-year jobs as drug dealers. As The Sun reports, the ads promise workers up to £6,000 a month tax-free to distribute cocaine and cannabis across a network stretching from Glasgow to the south of England.

This works out to £72,000 per year.

A tax-paying employee would need a salary of at least £110,000 to take home the same amount of money.

One such example is Albanian Pajtim Oruci, 32, who was arrested after admitting running a cannabis farm in Widnes.

The Sun has uncovered a series of TikTok ads for Albanians working on cannabis farms in the UK. In some ads, drug dealers are looking for “workers” with a salary of £1,300 a week with one day off.

Another ad seeks a worker in Glasgow and promises to pay for accommodation, along with a salary of £1,700 per week.

The TikTok platform has become a problem for the UK as Albanian drug lords advertise their 'business' through posts and videos. They use special codes to signal young people who want to travel to the UK and make money in bars.

Through TikTok, traffickers recruit Albanians by promising them large sums of money in exchange for the production and trafficking of narcotics.
