"FBI has recently announced that ethnic Albanian gangs, including immigrants from Kosovo, are replacing the Italian La Cosa Nostra mafia as the leading organized crime outfit in the US. According to a CNN report the FBI 'Officials said ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro' make up the emerging American criminal cartel and 'represent a major challenge to federal agents because of their propensity for violence and brutality.' This statement comes several months after Amnesty International declared NATO-administered Kosovo province a hotbed of organized crime activity.
In Europe, the Albanian Mob is already the chief perpetrator of drug and people smuggling, passport theft and forgery, weapons and human body parts sales, sex-slavery, abductions, murders... The scope, ferocity and intensity of the Albanian criminal activity has prompted the Italian top prosecutor, Cataldo Motta, to declare Albanians most dangerous mobsters brandishing them in 2000 'a threat to Western society.'
