World on Drugs with Steve Furey19 Aug 2021

The Story of the Albanian Mob and Naser Kelmendi: The Crime King of The Balkins, Human Trafficking, The Sicilian Mob and a Bosnian Ice Cream Company.

*ep starts at 30 mins

This is the story of Naser Kelmendi and the Albanian Mob. Because of Yugoslavia , Albania has had more than enough opportunity to stick its toes into the field of organized crime, and the local mob has done that in more ways than one. Capitalizing on tumultuous grounds, in the last 30 years Albania and the mobs within have shifted from being grunts for larger, well-established mobs to front-manning one of the largest organized crime syndicates in Western Europe and acting as mules for around 80% of the heroin trafficked throughout the area. Naser Kelmendi epitomizes what these mobs can produce. Before his sentencing in 2018 he was the head of the largest heroin smuggling operation in Western Europe, and he and his three sons are known for buying 10 cars a year, owning more real estate than a family can manage, and loan sharking with interest rates over 10% per month. As he’s currently sitting pretty in jail, we feel safe enough saying that the Kelmendi clan is one of the most dangerous crime families in the world today.
