- The Albanian Mafia is the new power in international drug trafficking.
Over the past decade, organized crime groups from Albania have taken over huge sections of the cocaine trade - particularly trafficking to Europe, which has become the biggest coke market in the world.
A lot of myths have sprung up around these Albanian mafia networks - about how they operate and the violence they inflict.
We separate truth from fiction - showing how the Albanian crime groups maintain their power, and how they have revolutionized the cocaine trade using innovation, entrepreneurial flair and deadly violence.

I love how vice is always keeping me up to date on how to get drugs all over the world
Lol same
I love how haters always gonna h8, m8.

Props to Drug for winning the War on Drug
It was a joke to begin with
Yawn 🥱
This being the top comment shows that our humor is broken.
Just one drug won the war on drug
@@MOJORAPSCALLION Homie’s name is Tun Khai. I think we can give em a pass on the very slightly incorrect English. Probably did better than you could in their native tongue.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. Cocaine addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in France. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
Hey! Yes Dr.alishrooms
I'm really happy for you that your mom decided to help you...I hear about alot of family members or so called friends shutting an addict out of their life, which since most addicts do it to mask emotions to me is the worse thing someone can do to an addict.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
nobody better to keep you tuned in on this war than Vice!!
Vice be like: “We would like to thank the Albanian traffickers for sponsoring this video”

Cheers from Albania
Hahahaha brilliant

Interesting, I always thought it went grow source -> carribean -> Africa -> Maghreb -> Middle East -> balkans
So that way they could take advantage of the Middle East Balkan people smuggling route
LOL
I love how he clarified the perception of violence. Yeah, any criminals on big level like that are capable and sometimes require such violence. It's not unique to any particular ethincity or nations, or groups
what others don’t understand is that Albanian culture is still medieval. It is a society steeped in ancient traditions that demand swift and fatal retribution to any slight to one’s honour. What one man can do in Albania another can do in Sydney or Salt Lake City but the motives, tenacity and brutality of such actions is what makes Albanians different. Waiting 20 years in ambush to avenge one’s honour isn’t exactly a trait common of other cultures.
BE AWARE the HELLS ANGELS and BLOODS alliance heads are having talks at the moment about their expansion in the eastern Europe. They want to eradicate the russian mafia's allies concentrated in Europe, north and south America. The goal is not to become the russian mafia's main ally as they want to be believed but to overtake it. According to their plans it would be done by 2025. This is what members having close ties with Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Members had already start moving to the targeted continents. If you read this you must share this information to let the people targeted know about. If you are directly involved tell your comrades about what is happening before it is too late. Together we can prevent it!

Great job Vice, The Albanian Drug Traffickers endorse this video!
I swear Vice can be so professional when they want. This reminds me of the good ol Vice days. They really focus on details instead of just making it about ''These guys are mobsters and they're all the same''. Instead they explain how they managed to get on top in the first place, which is forming business relationships and cutting out a middleman by going straight to the source, while maintaining an intimidating presence.
Details?
like at @3:18 when some random spanish speaking man wearing a mask claims that the Albanians are the biggest exporters, even though the majority is still sold in North America? what about @4:09 when the masked narco with no established credibility says that Albanians "are aggressive with their territory (in Colombia - because, you know, they would be fine with sharing and have no experience with violence) and will kill to defend it" only for the narrator to repeatedly say they aren't actually that violent for the rest of the video?
or @7:15 when another random person with a mask on explains how it’s sent from Colombia in boats and travels to Albania (shortest possible route would be 5,800 miles) because fuel costs aren't important and it definitely makes sense to ship it all the way to Albania and then backtrack across Europe to sell it in the UK right? Meanwhile all the data shows that Belgium, Spain and the Netherlands accounted for 78 percent of the EU’s total seizures..
Yeah, they really seem like they focus on getting their facts straight..
professionals of stupid clickbait contents
IMHO they only release stuff that they know is true and for their benefit by that I mean a good effect on people to spread the word. Vice shows reality of all the sketchy things going on in the world as far as with the United States with any other world. I hope we can defund worldwide governments one day because governments and countries shouldn’t exist. John Lennon wrote it himself in song “imagine” that can definitely be possible but worlds corruption and greed is never gonna allow us to get there. We all need to help each other and every worldwide government is corrupt and only does things for their benefit hiding stuff behind the table it’s just bullshit these people are the same or worse than drug traffickers it’s their naturality of environment which makes them act the way they do. I hope someone has understood in an opposite world we would go view a government or law enforcement the same as a drug trafficker think twice before you reply to me saying I’m stupid they are the same.
🍏🍏C I A gave them support and pushed them to the top. They did this in the past and this appears to still be ongoing
You just described all mobsters.
How did a smaller country like Albania produce so many successful entrepreneurs? That is great to hear people are expanding to an international business model and managing to deliver a quality product to customers. Hopefully, if they continue to satisfy consumers, then they continue to grow. I support organizations that work to serve their customers.
the drive albanians have to make money
extremely impressive from the albanians
Hahahahahha...you said well
It is a country filled with many cultures, interlinked- Greek, Italian, Spanish, Arabic. They are multilingual, and have access to rich trade routes due to their physical local. I'm Albanian, and that is my guess.
Having tight-knit family groups in new places helps us succeed elsewhere, too, I think.
Hahaha
I’ve known about 10 Albanians in my life. All ten were crazy no lie 🤣
I am ukrainian and lived in Albania more than 4 month - ukrainians are more crazy, so my feelings were very calm in Albania
@@alister_kroulenko you never saw Albanian from mountains.
You can’t stay with them for mor than 1 hour.

I have Ukrainian friends they are calm and chill ,no crazy things from them
@@tonyv8479 thats right
We're built differently 🤣
@@tonyv8479 haha an old Albanian man warned me of "wild mountain people" when I was in Albania 😂 Told me to not socialize with them, only the people in the cities. Didn't meet any crazy people but I probably didn't go deep enough into the mountains
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Does anyone know any good source to get them? I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels, would love to try them
Yes, Sporeville
Tripping is not bad but find a good mycologist who will inform you of the right things you need to know

Here in Paris there’s a saying in the drug business, the Russians aren’t afraid to kill, but the Albanese aren’t afraid to die. They have the worst reputation, but those I worked with were serious people, on time, very prudent and cool headed.
I’m on day one of a morphine/Heroin withdrawal. 6 days to go before complete end of physical symptoms. Wish me luck, love ❤️
Good luck
yo you'll b good. keep ur head up. I've been where your at
Bro, get some medical assistance. Specifically, suboxone assuming that's a thing in Paris. For long term addicts it is basically a miracle drug. If you don't you most likely will not succeed going cold turkey off of heroin, you will become desperate and you will use again.
Good luck with the withdrawals man! Shits rough. I'm trying to get off of a heavy kratom habit at the moment.
Ya smack head
Love that my home country is producing so many entrepreneurs! But in all seriousness I’ve never seen all of this crime on the news that more or in person.
Ofcourse you wont because nato and west made them and they control albania

Wait till drugs become a problem in your country and some of your family members get caught in it
Great documentary ! I didnt learn anything.
This guy on vice is amazing every drug video has done is always showing the sides we never hear about in the news
Yeah, i can't imagine why we wouldn't hear it anywhere else! Putting a mask on a random spanish speaking person in south america that said he was involved with drug cartels (and has no problem talking about this stuff to some random gringos that are recording him on video) is really incredible journalism and sounds totally legit.. i mean, so many things make sense, like when they talked about how they smuggle coke from colombia to albania (a 5,000 mile trip with the most direct route) which would cause them to have to backtrack across Europe to sell it in the UK. or when the masked colombian kingpin explains how the albanians are the biggest exporters even though the largest market is still North America and that's controlled by Mexicans.. but again, he's def trustworthy and i'm sure he would know the numbers for every cartel because they're all so friendly and open about stuff like that..
Aha. "The alabanians are not all that ruthless when it comes to violence they are more like enterpreneurs, efficient bussinessmen" muh muh. Wouldnt expect anything less than excusing criminals from leftoid trash like vice.

I find this series really interesting but the undertone at the end of Vice of, just make it all legal, is hilarious. It won't remove the issues completely or even substantially. The world is run by very significant crime syndicates who won't just go good. They'll fight to keep their patch of the game.
I love this channel much respect 🙏

There all fake. Your really not this stupid I hope.
Very true good show
"Cocaine Kings" - Has such a great ring to it!
I love how UK documentaries always talk about organized crime like it's something foreign when they, themselves, are the biggest state money laundering operation in world history.
In the book of Roberto Saviano. Which talk about Comorra Napolitan mafia he said Uk is one of most corrupted country in the world.
💯
The money launderer will not try to stab or shoot you in the street. But a drug dealer will.
@@fourthright Is it that money laundering comes from innocent people and I didn't know it? Laundered money comes from drug traffickers, terrorists, tyrants, etc., etc. Tens of thousands of people have so far been killed in Ukraine in a war started by the tyrant Putin and sponsored by some oligarchs who laundered money in the UK and other Western countries.
The United Kingdom killing machines were always on a large scale, not a simple stabbing or shooting in the streets.
What? Tell us more
Great documentary
Love how Vice has become as trusted as main stream media.
Stay away from drug. Million ppl relapse and can’t away from drug. Destroy your wealth, health and family .. 😢😢😢

Idk why but I love watching documentaries when I'm smoking, I've watched about a thousand documentaries in my life and I have so much information stored up in my brain but my gosh I just love these kinds of videos, seeing the reality of life all around the world.

watching* the reality of life. Seeing is when u there(:
Me too hahaha
I watch a lot of programming videos and made watching UA-cam videos a career basically
The gathering of information and presenting it in a. Cool way.
Ignoring the criminal aspect, its impressive how such a small number of people can rise that high in this field.

It's not hard you just have to be dumb enough not to care about death
@@sir2657 nigerians, north africans, kurds, turks are not afraid to die either.
Yet they are nowhere as sophisticated as albanians. It takes balls + organisation.
Check the Ottoman Empire. By far the smallest community when it comes to population but produced almost 90 % of its leadership.
Over 48 grand vezirs
Thousands of Generals.
@@nagarjunablessed4904 tf you talking about. The thing is they don’t get raised as criminals, unlike Albanians
great work albania keep up whit the delivery!!🎉🎉🎉
You make the best and realest documentaries!! the end says it all and tells how real you are
other medias are scared or too dumb to tell the truth! The end just says it all… these drug laws have the fault for all the violence and all bad things that come with illegal drugs… not the dealers
Everyone who supports these laws has the fault
Thank you for keeping it real but please make the documentaries longer… It could easily be 45 minutes
I went to Albania a few years back, incredible country.
Wow
The beak was shite there though, which was very annoying.
Yea! any country full of dope is an incredible country
Did you try the coke?
@@alandsofairandbright Yep, wasn't great at all. The strippers there are absolutely superb though as are the prozzies
The little velcro on the tube TV for the remote to stick to is an amazing touch. Well done.
You mean the gaffers tape that's there to cover the brand of the TV?
Well you have to mention that the price and quality is much better. That is very important to customers 😅
Nice video. As an Albanian i can confirm a lot of what you said is true. Sadly a lot of Albanian young generation find themself very attracted to crimes and trafficking. This because of the low incomes and the great ambition to have things too easy and too fast. Said that, i do not think that Albanians are so dangerous as it is described. Most of them are just puppies of the Italian Mafia, or doing the dirty staff that the Italians do not do any more. Being under the influence of the Italian Mafia, of course they are going to be popular on the market.
Anyway, targeting Albania as the most dangerous mafia in Europe has its pros and cons. The good thing is that being under the reflectors(media and stuff), it will difficult for them to operate and eventually get caught. The negative thing is, it also worth to say that this kind of news, give birth to a lot of stereotypes. A lot of Albanians suffer from the stupidity of the people that connect Albania only with the criminals. We are a small country with a lot of problems but at the same time with a great history and values. Sometimes is a slap in the face for the nice working and honest people. I'm not saying that this kind of videos are bad, just that the media always talk about that 0.5% of criminals. It is not so fair.
Keep it up
Do not worry my friend … My country has the same problem. 🇲🇽

Albanians run every port in the UK apart from Liverpool. The Scouse gangs, with their Irish and Manchester connections, have kept them out. Otherwise it's Albanian. Even here in Manchester, there's Albanian dealers.
Yeah, I wonder why too.🤔

Drugs 40% but the other 60% is cause all the albanians and people from Kosovo that live in Swiss , germany , uk and france come back to visit their motherland during summer
Love this series !!!! Albania. The Walmart and Amazon of cocaine delivery !!!!
I was a drug user when I was younger and went from addict to occasional user before joining the army. Went back to my home town four pals have died of drug overdoses and the rests lifes rotate around cocaine. The drug is a killer. I vow never to touch a drug again. When I was at the funeral the drug dealers who run the town were at the funeral, suited and booted to see off one of my pals who they supplied knowing he was an addict. They paid there respects to the man they in my eyes murdered. I’m 40 years old now and fear for my children. These people pray on the young to control them and build customer base. It keeps them in a certain grade in society that stops them from progressing in life. The worst thing about it is the police know who they are. They know who these people are yet do nothing because there in on it as well. Drugs brings in billions into the black market. The politicians control the organised crime groups. It’s extra cash in there pockets. The world is f*cked.
Sadly it's true. Cocaine is so damaging to the brain and other aspects of a person's life. The sad truth is that most cocaine users are hollow people who need something to make them feel alive and to be in control a specific situation (feeling powerful/confident in social settings). It's the drug for the ego, and IMO younger generations (mine included) have a problem with narcisism and being spoiled etc, so the two things combine in a bad way.

There is merchandise coming in directly into Southern Italy, there is ports like Rotterdam and Antwerp and there are the smuggling routes from Southern America into Africa into Spain. These major routes are not controlled by Albanians. There is not one group or ethnicity in Europe that has overall control. They usually work together.
Just a few months ago in Ecuador were seized 7 tons of cocaine from Albanians and the destination was antwerp , in Peru 2.2 tons destination was Rotterdam search franc Malo , gentian meta, and the same month 350 kilos of cocaine were caught in Brazil and around 600 kilos caught in Portugal that started from Brazil and the destination was Rotterdam and again 2 Albanians were in charge of this, now what do you mean that Albanians do not control these major routes Ecuador is full with Albanians of course they are not the only ethnicity but they are huge players now
Let us not describe what does the Mocromaffia
@@Lalalafouiine They get their coke through old smuggling routes from Africa, not so much Rotterdam or Antwerp. At least that is what it used to be. But things always change of course. There are a lot of new youth gangs popping up in the Netherlands as the shipments grow larger and larger. These guys don't organize anything but are hired to let's say do the protection of a certain shipment. It's not like a cartel or anything where one group controls everything. So things are more splintered in Europe
It is montenegro mafia the real power house
Montenegrin mafia last year 20 fucking tones in philly usa 😂
Big reason why Albanians are so powerful in London is due to police involvement, but that's another layer the general public is not ready for or VICE
UK elites would prefer (WHITE) albanian drug dealers than any non-white so no wonder the police turn a blind eye to the albanians and crack down on jamaicans, nigerians etc for smaller crimes.

Always found it funny how some journalists can find these criminals and cops cant
Cops know who they are too but they are too afraid or they are getting paid to not do anything about it
because journalist can't disclose any information when interviewing criminals to the police. so journalist wanting to talk to drug kingpins can be a phone call away since they know the journalist won't have them detained.
The whole system is a joke and a fraud
@Ronnie true that
indeed. NATO brought in that element, as well, causing destabilization, most likely on purpose, SOROS vision.
well, in western balkans i grew up being taught that you dont mess with Albanians. they have tightly knit, loyal families. and still have the vendetta. and thats civilians. cant imagine how their mafia operates. plus they live and lived in poverty in albania and are very (family) business oriented people when living abroad.

Old news been a problem in the uk since I was in school vice finally feel like talking about it 💀😂
Interesting.
Everything I know about Albania I learned from an episode of Cheers.
Huh... Something I bought likely passed through an Albanian Crime Group. And they were quite organized. Thanks!
This can't be real YT support saying this kind of stuff, right?
@@jimiesoteric2417 Why not?
Shut up
@@GPT-4_Beta because you admitted to buying cocaine....
UA-cam support lives matter!
0:57 oh you wearing a plurimus that’s a small market 😂
Purity is another factor with their cocaine, they figured out if you have a superior product you will retain customers.
is it 99.1 % pure though?
I live in New York City and one thing we all know whether you’re black white Hispanic Chinese don’t mess with Albanians.
Albanians**
@@Memss12 Alabamians
I am Albanian but I am not a criminal I live and work in UK for over 30 years never got arrested or did anything bad in the UK, but if I got problam with someone I can easily go call other Albanians to help me, we stick together, all this drog deals are doing old school Albaniasn not some kids singing or flushing with cars all over youtube like halkatraz
Alamiamiams
@@Slots-Room kujt do i bim vlla haha
If you want to learn more about this look up 'Kid Nerd' he talks about the helbanianz which are the younger and flashier Albanians in england
That hurt seeing that guy pour a carrier bag of weed on the ground :(
Yes yes the efficient and innovative Business people. No sociopathy in sight
8:56 Could vice get into legal trouble? The girl at this time in this video hasn't had her voice changed but in the earlier video the footage is taken from they made her voice deeper.
She could have given her permission for that
I hope they do, they're vice.
Esnaf people are albanians, greetings from neighbour Macedonia and thanks for the best lines __________
Sounds a bit like pirates from the 1600s, tell stories and feed the idea that you're more violent than you actually are to make your job easier.
The book Be More Pirate is great
The Albanians are big players in the drug market here in Norway and what seems to set them apart from the immigrant gangs and biker gangs is their low profil. While other gangs show up in night clubs and social media with flashy cars, jewelry and showing off tons of cash the Albanians at least the old school guys are practical invisible. They only show up a rare occasion in a random drug bust in the papers. This seems to be why they are so successful and have been for decades.
Oh for sure 🤫
Just like the first generation Moroccans who smuggled hasjiesj from Morocco to the Netherlands. They were very low profile. Drove old cars, living in cheap social apartments and wearing no brand clothes. The younger generation (known as Mocro Maffia) drive fast cars and show what they have on social media. Most end dead or in prison.
@Vard X moroccans owns the drug market in west europe, netherlanths especially and the belgium france and spain
@Vard X you just believe your own jokes, i live in west europe and i see it. Albanians are trying to get south netherlands in their hands but they cant beacause of the moroccans
@@manolo0304 Aren't they in different drug markeds though? I thought the Moroccans had primarily the hashish marked which is the biggest marked of course. At least her in Norway and Sweden Moroccans smuggle mostly hash while the Albanian seem to focus more on coke and heroin. While the polish smuggle most of the speed.
I got into a fight with an albanian dealer for selling cocaine in my pub and in less then 25 minutes i see 3 blacked out g wagons with 12 albanians jump out and they dragged me to the back of my own pub and put a gun to my head. I told them that i dont want them to sell in my pub and had a conversation with one of them, he said thats fine and they never came back again. As much hate as i have for them for putting a gun to my head, they respected that i was a legitimate businessman and pub owner and they promised not to sell🙌 perks of owning a pub in london hahahaha
Then you woke up from your dream
@@michealphelps6452 nah mate search it up i was on the news search gun pulled on pub owner theres a whole article about what happened
@@medicateduk485 can't find owt, link?
Were you sweating when you woke up from your nightmare? Lol
What were you Medicated on at the time. Fighting underneath them sheets. HaHa. What are you 14? or 41.
Gus Fring is Albanian actually, that's why he is so efficient
Good
It's amazing how they find them for the interview, but they can't find them to arrest them...
POLICE, have you tried asking them for an interview?
Exactly 🤣
Bro, in Albania even the police are afraid from some mafia groups and another thing is they sometime corrupt the police by giving them money.. so in Albania anything can happen believe me 😂
Even if I didn't love coke the way i do...and i do...anyone with any sanity could see that the war on drugs, has never and will not work.
Well, if you ever need rehab, don't ask the taxpayers to foot the bill.
It's bogus for the Simpletons...
Actually works. It's just that Western people don't know how to do it. Take a look at Singapore: anyone who sells drugs weighs with a noose around his neck. Anyone who uses drugs: sits half his life in prison. In Singapore fewer narco bitches than blacks in the KKK.
