Investigative journalist Artan Hoxha has spoken about the clandestine traffic in our country, which has led to the imprisonment of a fairly high number of citizens, among them taxi drivers and young people who transport them for small amounts of money.
Hoxha said that some of the refugees have started working in our country to provide income in order to finance the journey to the EU, even according to the journalist, some of them are also working in the cannabis plots.
"A good part of these come from an EU country, Greece. They enter Albania and then they want to go to another EU country. They want to go to Germany, France, Italy, etc. They want to cross over. They don't they intend to stay in the Balkans.
This is a phenomenon that has started since the Arab spring. Syrians were the wealthiest immigrants coming from the Middle East, they had quite a diaspora in Europe. They came from a place of opportunity and good pay. Reactivated traffic lines. This also created another opportunity. In the border zone, there are districts like Kolonja, Përmeti, there is no other activity there, there is no more cannabis, the activity that takes place there is the traffic of clandestines, they take them and bring them to Tirana. They also make ordinary citizens. Traffic lines are also caught with 100 trucks like these.
In Albania, it has become a very problematic phenomenon, the police take every driver they find, every driver they find illegally, even if you are a taxi driver. The prisons are full, the courts have sentenced taxi drivers, craftsmen, young people, etc.
I see them in groups, carrying the new clothes they need for EU and street clothes. Albania's roads, many of them also go to work, you have Syrians now in construction, they work for several months to cross the road. They also put some of them in the cannabis plots. That's why we in Albania have two thousand convicts and 3700 detainees ", said Hoxha.
