Joint European police action against Albanian drugs traffickers

Police in five European countries carried out a huge strike against a gang of Albanian drugs traffickers, making 67 arrests.

A total of about 650 police officers in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United Kingdom took part in the raids on dozens of addresses, in coordination with the authorities in Serbia.

The action comes soon after the prosecutor’s office in Mons, Belgium, reported that Albanian Mafia-style gangs represent a growing criminal threat, particularly with heavy investment in growing cannabis. The investigation started last year by the authorities in Mons.
