Page 3 Too much drugs for Albania EDITORIAL It is not the latest drug seizure in the streets of Tirana; in fact, police interventions to block it have become frequent, and this happens not only in international trafficking across the Adriatic, where the systematic use of radar seems to be producing results, but also in domestic trafficking. Yesterday, a week ago, on the outskirts of the city, where many drowsy people move about, a quantity of drugs hidden in a car was found, while in recent days several sellers, as well as users, have been arrested. Only two days ago, the government was discussing the possibility of creating an anti-trafficking structure at central level, equipped with modern technology and equipment, at least to curb the high figures of drugs and organized crime. It is immediately responding to the high number of users and schools in the capital, but in reality this is directly linked to the inaction of state institutions and the tolerance of corrupt officials tied to criminal networks. Seeing that drugs are entering Albania freely and are being sold easily on the domestic market, the problem has become alarming. If in another time this phenomenon could be hidden or underestimated, today it is visible and requires a serious response. Controls, punishments, and functioning institutions are needed. Otherwise the country will turn into a space where drug consumption will grow more than ever before.

Security measure for the traffickers of the drugs seized in Saranda For the head of anti-smuggling at Rinas Airport, Ceki Xhebexhiu, money has been given to the wife, in which he is implicated. Today the police rarely find 1006 kg of heroin. According to 569 [?], it has become clear that the place of arrest and his secret ties with Athens will reveal the secrets of the Italo-Albanian drug crime. The police stated from Rinas that the seized money is connected to another group that had planned to send a shipment to Italy. The prosecutor’s office has questioned several people and is verifying the origin of the sums. The investigation remains open and further arrests are expected. Page 6
