In the investigative show "Report" broadcast the day before on the Italian RAI 3 television, the fight against corruption and organized crime in Albania was discussed. The investigation also spoke about the Albanian mafia, saying that it is connected to N'Drangheta and that it has made an epochal increase in quality.
"The Albanian mafia is strong because it comes from a country where there is widespread corruption. Thus, the criminal organizations that come from Albania are immediately rich, strong and powerful. The Albanian mafia has already been structured and managed to work in cooperation with the N'Drangheta. For several years we have also seen it in South America and it is capable of independently bringing tons of cocaine to Italy and Europe", says Nicola Gratteri, prosecutor of Naples.
The report states that Albania is ranked by Transparency International as one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
The journalist remembers that years ago, when he had just come to power, Prime Minister Edi Rama had appointed former Italian prosecutor Francesco Mandoi as an adviser, who for 20 years had been a point of connection between the Italian anti-mafia prosecution and the Albanian prosecution.
"There were no major developments of any consultancy. Counselor in papers but never heard from me. They never called me even though there was a lot of work to do. Members of the Albanian mafia or drug traffickers have their representatives within the institutions and have the opportunity to condition the actions of the government", says the former adviser of Edi Rama, the Italian anti-mafia prosecutor Francesco Mandoi.
