The brothers from Burrel are sentenced in England

Two Albanian brothers from Burreli, the "heads" of a powerful criminal gang in Britain, have been sentenced to prison by a British court, after being accused that, together with three other people, they played one of the main roles in the transportation and distribution of drugs different.

The value of their cannabis "empire" was around $3.8 million, which was spread across 14 different homes in Leicester and one in Nottingham. Two Albanian brothers, Besmir and Gazmend Kortoci, the leaders of the gang used estate agents to disguise their cannabis farms as legitimate rental properties.

The two brothers along with three other members of the gang were jailed yesterday, where each was sentenced to 5 years in prison or more. The court seized 15 of their properties, 13 of which had significant amounts of narcotics.

According to Leicestershire Police, the total value of the cannabis found was around £3.8 million. However, the court concluded that, with multiple harvests, the houses could have produced a turnover of six to seven million pounds each year.

Besmir Kortoci, 31, of Courtyard Close, Syston, was jailed for nine years and nine months for the manufacture and supply of cannabis, as well as the false documents offence.

His brother Gazmend Kortoci, 28, of no fixed address, was jailed for six years and nine months for conspiracy to manufacture Class B drugs. Moden, 43, of Park Road, Wigston, got five years for conspiracy to supply.
Platinum Homes boss Omar, 37, of Everest Court, St Matthews, Leicester, was jailed for seven years, while his "trusted right-hand man" Latif, 47, of Kitchener Road, Evington, Leicester, was imprisoned for five and a half years.
