Russian hostage in Laç, wanted by the whole world

THE NETWORK OF PROSTITUTION TRAFFICKERS IS EXPOSED, SPECIAL FORCES FREE THE CHILD On page 9 FROM ITALY, TO ALBANIAN FAMILIES Do not marry off your daughters to traffickers Dear friends! We are warning you because we have seen the situation at close hand and know it well: the situation faced by those who continue on the road to emigration with false hope. According to data from the Italian police, the most criminal groups in Europe pass through Italian roads, and they have made prostitution trafficking their most developed activity. These people, who came from the street, had the power then and still continue to be able to make staggering profits from this activity. If you put their wealth at risk by entrusting the fate of your daughters to suspicious people, then we are facing a real tragedy. We appeal to Albanian families, to the parents, sisters and brothers of girls, to be vigilant. Ask questions, check, do not become part of the deception of criminal networks. We also invite young men and women not to be tempted by empty promises. Whoever seeks an easy way may fall into the trap of exploitation. Please, do not marry off your daughters to traffickers. Yesterday, the 555th anniversary of the Assembly of Lezhë SKËNDERBEU BROUGHT US TOGETHER On page 21

Do not marry off your daughters to traffickers

LETTER FROM ITALY TO ALBANIAN FAMILIES Dear friends! We are warning you because we have seen the situation at close hand and know it well: the situation faced by those who continue on the road to emigration with false hope. According to data from the Italian police, the most criminal groups in Europe pass through Italian roads, and they have made prostitution trafficking their most developed activity. These people, who came from the street, had the power then and still continue to be able to make staggering profits from this activity. Albanian families must be careful not to fall victim to deception. It is necessary to check who the girls associate with, who are the people who approach them, what they promise and where they come from. No one should believe in quick roads to a better life when they pass through the hands of traffickers. We call on everyone not to become accomplices to evil, but to protect the dignity of the family and of Albanian girls. Only with care, vigilance and mutual help can the tragedies we see every day be avoided. Often, later on, it is too late to react. That is why we are addressing you with this letter so that you hear the alarm bell. Do not marry off your daughters to traffickers.
