Since the time of the DP government, politicians—from the highest state officials to members of parliament and the leaders of political forces—have been the most talked-about when it came to corruption, involvement in smuggling and illegal trafficking, especially arms, drugs or cigarettes. political forces—have been the most talked-about trafficking, especially arms, drugs or cigarettes. In this regard, with little effort, it is not difficult to compile a long list of cases involving abuses by a good number of politicians, cases that have been made public in the media. Throughout all these years, regardless of who was in power, the names of ministers who put their hands into smuggling, who monopolize coffee, tobacco, oil and bananas, and who have directed or continue to direct the trafficking of drugs, weapons and prostitution have often been mentioned. It is worth noting that all this has also been discussed and written about in foreign media; indeed, schemes showing the organization of various mafia clans connected to current or former government officials have been published there. Nevertheless, apart from the “Nano” case, when the former prime minister of 1991 was convicted of “stealing aid,” to date no politician is known to have been convicted. About a year ago, several international financial institutions sounded the alarm over the unimaginable scale of the involvement of the government officials of that time in corruption and smuggling, describing Albania unequivocally as “the country with the most corrupt leadership in Europe.” And yet, the Albanian state bodies responsible for combating crime did not bother to take any action about this. Specifically, the report received from abroad on this issue also named several people, who still continue to live in luxury without a thorn in their side. It is precisely the unlawful privilege of senior officials to make illicit gains that is the sole motive prompting some to pay substantial sums for a position in the administration, let alone in the Government or the Presidency. Since this category of officials usually cooperates with companies engaged in dubious businesses as well as with mafia circles, they also constitute the main obstacle to the fight against crime in Albania. Therefore, as long as the law-enforcement agencies and the prosecution service do not declare a real crusade against this category of officials and politicians in general, the country will continue to be governed by the mafia. For this reason, whoever takes the seat of Minister of Public Order will never succeed if they compromise with mafia politicians. Perhaps the new Minister of Public Order, Poçi, could take the initiative for a “clean hands”-type operation to sever the links between politics and crime.
