Bandenterror in Zentralamerika, den USA und in Europa

César (not his real name) is a member of the Latin Kings, a criminal drug gang in Ecuador. He was recruited by a corrupt counternarcotics police officer to work for the Albanian mafia, one of Europe's most prolific cocaine trafficking networks.

The Albanian mafia has expanded its presence in Ecuador in recent years, drawn by key trafficking routes through the country, and it now controls much of the cocaine flow from South America to Europe.

Despite Ecuador not producing the drug, 70% of the world's cocaine now flows through its ports, Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa says.

It is smuggled into the country from neighbouring Colombia and Peru – the world's two largest producers of cocaine.

After cocaine arrives in Ecuador from Colombia or Peru it is stashed in warehouses until his Albanian employers become aware of a shipping container that will be leaving one of the ports for Europe.

Gangs use three main methods to smuggle cocaine into shipments: hiding drugs in cargo before it reaches the port, breaking into containers at the port, or attaching drugs to ships at sea.

usw. Was ein Glück dass wir den Albanern mit dem Kosovo gleich noch einen zweiten Staat geschaffen haben....

European gangs are drawn to Ecuador for its location but also its legal exports, which provide a convenient way to hide illicit cargo.

"Banana exports make up 66% of containers that leave Ecuador, 29.81% go to the European Union, where drug consumption is growing," explains banana industry representative José Antonio Hidalgo.

Some gangs have even set up fake fruit import or export companies in Europe and Ecuador as a front for illicit activities.

"These European traffickers pose as businessmen," says "José" (not his real name), a prosecutor who targets organised crime groups and who spoke anonymously due to threats he has received.

One notorious example is Dritan Gjika, accused of being one of the most powerful Albanian mafia leaders in Ecuador.

Prosecutors say he had stakes in fruit export companies in Ecuador, and import companies in Europe, which he used to traffic cocaine. He remains on the run, but many of his accomplices faced convictions after a multinational police operation.

Lawyer Monica Luzárraga defended one of his associates and now speaks candidly about her knowledge of how these networks operate.

"In those years, banana exports to Albania boomed," she says.

Albanien, ein Hauptimporteuer von Bananen für Europa. Solange man aber nicht die Frage des Konsums angeht, kann man die Lieferanten bekämpfen wie man will. Man wird der Lieferungen nicht Herr werden, wenn der Konsum nicht ausgelöscht wird:

UN data shows global cocaine consumption has hit record levels. Its surveys suggest the UK has the world's second highest rate of cocaine use.

The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) estimates the UK consumes about 117 tonnes of cocaine annually and has the biggest market in Europe.

Evidence suggests consumption in the UK is rising.

Ganz im Gegenteil: gerade durch die scharfe Bekämpfung der Lieferanten steigen die Gewinnmargen so unermesslich und es wird sich immer jemand finden, der das Risiko auf sich nimmt, die Konsumenten zu beliefern, solange diese immer mehr und mehr konsumieren und dazu noch süchtig sind.

Das Schiffe versenken spielen der Amis führt also nur zu höheren Gewinnmargen und damit zu noch mehr Anreizen, den ständig steigenden Koks-Konsum der degenerierten Europäer zu beliefern.
