How the Albanian Mafia Quietly Took Over Europe’s and the UK’s Cocaine Trade

Europe’s busiest ports—Antwerp, Rotterdam, Valencia, Hamburg, and beyond—have become key gateways for an industrial-scale cocaine pipeline. In this video, we break down how Albanian organized crime groups expanded not through chaos, but through control: building direct links to Latin American supply chains, embedding inside freight logistics, and using tactics like concealment in perishables and the “rip-on rip-off” method with cloned seals. We also explore how corruption and “Uithalers” teams help drugs move before containers leave the port, and how extraction labs (“cocaine laundries”) keep operations scalable. Finally, we zoom in on the UK’s hyper-lucrative market—where Albanian networks reportedly dominate distribution—fueling wider access, higher purity, and the spread of county lines.
