Artan Hoxha and Dritan Rexhepi
Invited to the show "The Unexposed", journalist Artan Hoxha spoke about Dritan Rexhepi, the Albanian drug trafficker arrested in Turkey.
"He had strong contacts, he is located in Turkey because during the last two years he is returning to the main base from which Europe is supplied, and they moved him to Turkey because Turkey is a strategic country, it is close to Dubai, the EU, and close to the Asian continent and a good five of today's bosses are located in Turkey. Plus a good part of the local groups have taken over to carry out operations that were previously done by the Italian mafia. Rexhepi has income in the Turks to be closer to the market that supplied him".
Further, Hoxha also stopped at other Albanians, who operate in Ecuador and are not known in the media, but have great influence and power at high levels.
"There are some Albanians you have never heard of. In Ecuador there are two big groups. Los Choneros and Los Lobos. When the candidate for President was killed, he came out and four days before he was killed, he told me that the head of Los Choneros threatened me and the Albanians were connected to this. When he was killed, one of the people who killed him became collaborators with the other group. The media wrote that the Albanians were involved, because the acting president, having been the CEO of the bank for many years, knew the Albanians and lived in the same neighborhood. The neighborhood is like Rolling Hills in Albania. The Albanians were accused of supporting the President with 5 million dollars. He did not run again, but even the current President is suspected to have had the support of the Albanians.
Six businessmen with very strong political connections were killed. They were found on a beach and an Albanian organization was accused, led by a person named Dritan Gjika. Dritan Gjika is a businessman who went there to transport exotic fruits. Today he is suspected to be in Dubai and is wanted. In Ecuador there are two types of Albanians, those who deal with the high level, there are also those who go for some work. I was in Ecuador. These Albanians I met there were with Italian passports and other countries, not Albanian passports", said Hoxha.
