The Prosecutor of the Lecce Antimafia, Cataldo Motta, congratulated in
an interview for Top Channel the Albanian authorities for entering
Lazarat.
“This is a very important initiative, because the identification of these cannabis plantations was made also thanks to the help of the Guardia di Finanzia. It is very important to destroy them, because the traffic of narcotics from Albania will be reduced significantly. This is a very important initiative that deserves the success that it will definitively have”, declared Cataldo Motta.
The Albanian government has shown a strong determination to fight the drug traffic through the Police, Prosecution General and all institutions.
“We are very interested on this intervention of the police. This is very important for me, for which I personally applaud the Albanian authorities”, Motta added.
When asked if the Italian authorities had asked before for an intervention in Lazarat, Motta declared.
“We have asked it several times, and Lazarat is the area where the cultivation of cannabis is spread mostly”, Motta declared.
According to the Lecce antimafia prosecutor, the Italian authorities will be ready to help their Albanian counterparts in the fight against cannabis.
