Organized crime: Albanian-speaking networks establish themselves in Belgium
Belgium is facing a new reality regarding drug trafficking. According to recent reports, criminal groups from the Albanian-speaking sphere have become very active on Belgian territory. These organizations now specialize in the large-scale importation of cannabis.
What surprises the authorities is the origin of this drug. Unlike traditional circuits, these networks bring in cannabis directly from California or Canada. This strategy demonstrates significant logistical capacity and a desire to diversify supply sources for the European market.
The operation of these groups remains discreet, which makes the police's work more complex. Unlike other more visible criminal organizations, these networks favor a silent approach to avoid attracting the attention of law enforcement. This discretion allows them to establish themselves durably in different regions of the country.
Belgian authorities are closely monitoring this phenomenon. The fight against organized crime remains a priority to ensure public safety. International cooperation is essential to dismantle these networks that use global trade routes for their illegal activities.
