“Albanian marijuana has invaded Europe”. This is how Italian TV shows
and newspapers treat the problem of the drug which arrives from Albania
in huge quantities, with sophisticated transportation vehicles.
RAI’s “Porta a Porta” with journalist Bruno Vespa and the “Corriere della Sera” start their trip from Lazarat, with shocking numbers: at least 300 plantations which produce more than 1000 tons of marijuana with a profit of 4.5 billion EUR.
Only one plant of marijuana gives a profit of 300 EUR. The Puglia region is the first station of the Albanian drug, due to the geographic area. Seven tons of Marijuana have been blocked in the Puglia coast between Brindisi and Lecce, while only for this year authorities have seized four tons.
The vehicles used by traffickers for transporting drugs are various, starting from powerful inflatable boats to small boats and water scooters. The control of the Italian and Albanian authorities is becoming even stronger, with modern equipment from the air, land and sea.
