Europol, the EU law enforcing agency, published a strategic report about how criminal groups get stronger through international drug traffic.
Same as in every other report of the past years, Albania is listed as the main trafficking report of cannabis in the EU.
The Europol report says that criminal groups generate 24 billion EUR each year through cannabis, cocaine and heroin.
The report notes how new and dangerous drugs are entering the market, while money laundering of criminal groups remains a problem, as it becomes harder for the authorities to confiscate their assets.
Only 1% of their earnings is confiscated by law-enforcing agencies, according to the report. In some cases, criminal groups are also tied with terrorism. Europol aims to cooperate with all countires within 2020, and hit the production and trafficking of narcotics.
