English media: New wave of recruitment from Albanian crime

Although a small part of the Albanian community in Great Britain, Albanians involved in the underworld there continue to make headlines. It is the "Sunday Express" newspaper, which has the title "Albanian gangsters recruit from their homeland".

Jon Austin, crime editor in this newspaper, writes that Great Britain is facing a third wave of emigration of Albanians to the island state.

"Already consolidated Albanian criminal groups are recruiting young soldiers in their homeland", the article states.

"The second generation of Albanian criminals in England are returning to the country of their parents, attracting hopeless people to become part of the crime," Dr. Andi Hoxhaj, lecturer at University College London, is quoted in this newspaper.

In a written testimony, Hoxhaj told the Home Affairs Committee in the English parliament that "Albanian organized crime networks in England go to rural areas of Albania where there is extreme poverty or high unemployment in order to recruit young soldiers of crime." .

In his testimony, Dr. Andi Hoxhaj states:

"They offer them free trips to England. In exchange employment in cannabis houses or other criminal activities. We have seen a successful recruitment campaign during the year 2022 through social networks in conjunction with this cheap passage prices to England from France with Gomone".

At the end of the article, Sunday Express says that despite the promise that the young soldiers of crime will lead a life of real gangsters, young Albanians turn into modern slaves and must pay the debt to those who paid to bring them to England.
