Artan Hoxha, while talking about Dritan Rexhepi, the Albanian drug trafficker arrested in Turkey, also stopped at other Albanians, who operate in Ecuador and are not known in the media, but have great influence and power at high levels.
In an interview for the show "Te Paespozuarit", Hoxha said that the Albanian mafia connected to the biggest cartels in Ecuador have gone so far as to finance the campaigns of the presidents there.
" There are some Albanians you have never heard of. In Ecuador there are two big groups. Los Choneros and Los Lobos. When the candidate for President was killed, he came out and four days before he was killed, the head of Los Choneros threatened me and the Albanians were connected to this. When he was killed, one of the people who killed him turned out to be collaborators with the other group. The media wrote that the Albanians were involved, because the president in office, being the CEO of the bank for many years, the Albanians knew him and lived with him in the same neighborhood. The neighborhood is like Rolling Hills in Albania.
The Albanians were accused of supporting the President with 5 million dollars. He did not run again, but even the current President is suspected to have had the support of the Albanians.
Six businessmen with very strong political connections were killed. They were found on a beach and an Albanian organization was accused, led by a person named Dritan Gjika. Dritan Gjika is a businessman who went there to transport exotic fruits. Today he is suspected to be in Dubai and is wanted.
In Ecuador there are two types of Albanians, those who deal with the high level, there are also those who go for some work. I was in Ecuador. These Albanians I met there were with Italian passports and other countries, not Albanian passports ," said Hoxha.
