Cocaine Flows to Albanian Groups In 2016, as Colombian cocaine production skyrocketed, trafficking to European countries picked up amid increasing demand. Italy's 'Ndrangheta, while continuing to dominate European cocaine distribution, could not manage these huge quantities alone, and Colombian suppliers began seeking additional partners, including the well-positioned Albanian groups. Research from a previous InSight Crime investigation into cocaine trafficking from Ecuador revealed that Balkan syndicates sourced cocaine in Ecuador’s department of Sucumbíos, which borders Colombia. An alliance between the Colombian crime group La Constru and former members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – FARC) controlled drug smuggling into Sucumbíos from the Colombian border department of Putumayo, with La Constru charging international traffickers depending on the delivery point. An ex-FARC leader in Putumayo was also reported as supplying traffickers from the Balkans with four to six tons of cocaine every month. In recent years the group members of Albanian descent have expanded their criminal activities in the European Union, reads a Europol report on EU organized crime. Being active mostly in Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom but also in the United States of America. The Albanian Mafia is composed of several major organized groups, which in turn have wider networks throughout Europe and have even reached as far as North and Central America.

Gangs are very organized, have codes of silence and distinct mob-related tattoos. Police in the USA who have dealt with a violent wave of Albanian gangs said that "The Albanians are one of the hardest criminal enterprises to crack due to the fact that they usually only deal with other Albanians and can be extremely smart and violent when needed. Albanian gangs in the USA are different than those in the EU, wherein the USA, the mafia has built many lucrative pacts with major crime families all over the country but the most important being the Colombian cartels who control coca production. Huge shipments were arranged directly from South America. ". In the United States, the term "Albanian Mafia" may include or refer specifically to various Albanian-American organized crime groups, such as the Rudaj Organization, Balaj Organization, Berisha Organization, Albanian Boys, based in New York City, State of Michigan, or San Andreas. Albanian-American crime groups vary in the extent of their connections to Albanian mafia groups in Albania or Europe, ranging from loosely connected to or mostly independent of Albanian mafias in Europe to being essentially American extensions of European Albanian mafia groups.
