The Jihadists group caliphate has seized control of a $4billion Mafia marijuana
growing operation in the rural mountains of Albania – giving it a
foothold in Europe. Private jets and ships take the £4billion-a-year harvest to Mafia bosses in Italy, who distribute it, ISIS
moved into the lucrative trade after security services fought their way
into an Albanian Mafia HQ in the hill village of Lazarat. Far from putting paid to cannabis farming, the 2014 raid cleared the way for extremists to take over by removing the Mafia.
Dr Vladimir Pivovarov, a former military intelligence officer, said:
“It is well known that Albania and other countries in the region have
citizens joining ISIS.
“Western intelligence identified Balkan countries as the most active in providing recruits for jihad.
“There
is no doubt that the best recruits for the jihadists are those that
were in the Mafia. Already schooled in violence, they even pay their own
way because the dirty money that the jihadists then gain when they
recruit Mafia recruits helps to further swell the jihadist coffers. With
new recruits and money, the Mafia in the region is exactly the reason
why Muslim extremism is establishing itself in this part of Europe."
