British media have returned to articles against Albanians. "The Telegraph" writes that more than 100 illegal Albanian immigrants have been sentenced to more than 300 years in prison in just three months after being recruited by organized crime gangs to serve the rapidly growing number of cannabis farms. .
Three-quarters (77) of the 101 Albanians jailed between August and October this year were convicted of offenses related to the production of cannabis on farms across England and Wales run by organized gangs, according to an analysis of cases by “ The Telegraph". The number of punishments is four times the normal norm for Albanians.
" A police operation targeting cannabis farms this summer resulted in the seizure of up to 130 million pounds of cannabis plants and the arrest of almost 1,000 people. More than 180,000 plants have been discovered from raids in England and Wales. Operation Mille targeted illicit crops which police believe are a major source of money for organized crime gangs who are also involved in other offenses such as money laundering, Class A drug smuggling and violence.
In the past five years, Albanian gangs have cornered the cannabis cultivation market, usurping the Vietnamese by importing their hydroponic expertise in growing Albanian plants to the UK and using illegal immigrants as "gardeners". The number of Albanians crossing the Channel in 2022 in small boats increased to 12,301 from 800 in 2021, more than a quarter of the 45,755 total arrivals ," the article says.
