Ilir Kasa/ Adiol Hila

Albanian criminal groups, after England and Wales, have quickly expanded the criminal business of growing cannabis in homes or warehouses to Scotland.

The largest Scottish newspaper, " Daily Record", dedicated its front page this Saturday to this criminal phenomenon with Albanian protagonists.

"Scottish electricity distribution companies have been asked to cooperate with police in the fight against pot houses, where electricity is stolen to use powerful lamps to grow cannabis," the article says.

The Daily Record now says that in every city in Scotland we have a presence of Albanian criminal groups involved in setting up cannabis farms through which they are earning millions of pounds.

The article notes that dozens of Albanians involved in growing cannabis, the value of which in these cases brought to court, has appeared before courts across Scotland.

This newspaper illustrates this article with several examples of Albanians caught and convicted in Scotland as organizers of the establishment of bar houses.

One of them is Ilir Kasa , who is described in the article as one of the bosses of this criminal business.

He has been sentenced to 8 years in prison after being filmed by police visiting two cannabis farms in Glasgow, where police found 350 and 150 cannabis plants ready to harvest.

According to police estimates, the value of the destroyed plants was 300,000 pounds.

Arben Ketuka had rented a house next to the one he lived in to turn it into a barber's house.

He was caught with 200 cannabis plants in the rooms of this house, which could yield 15 kilos of cannabis with a market value of 172 thousand pounds.

Ketuka pleaded guilty to charges of cultivating class B drugs and is expected to be sentenced next week.

In the city of Dundee, Albanians  Adiol Hila, 37, and Indrit Saraci, 27, had built a farm where they had planted 3,000 cannabis plants.

The value of the narcotics production was 1.7 million pounds. After admitting the charges in court, Saraci was sentenced to three years and 9 months in prison, while Hila was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months.

According to the Daily Record, they had arrived illegally in England on dinghies and then moved to Scotland./ Daily Record
