Albanians rule the UK's £5 billion-a-year cocaine trade and are unabashed about showing off all their illicit profits.

Now Albanian gangsters have not only narrowed down to their own circle, they are also recruiting former police officers from Albania.

According to an investigation by "The Sun", Albanians have taken control of the cocaine market in Britain over the past two decades after forming an alliance with drug cartels in Latin America.

But recently, former officers from Albania were caught distributing drugs and guarding cannabis farms in England.

Experts say that these former police officers are very valuable to the "mafiosi" because of their inside knowledge of how the Police works.

Ervin Karamuço, a professor of criminology at the State University of Tirana in Albania, told The Sun how former police officers act as "advisors" to gangs.

He said: There are cases where former police officers have been dismissed due to abusive behavior, corruption or links to criminal groups.

They have used their connections to the criminal world to find new opportunities, becoming key members of gangs. 

Some groups believe that their knowledge of police tactics will help them avoid detection by British police.

 We have understood from several intercepts by Albanian law enforcement agencies that they become the most important instructors and advisors to criminals.

Last December, former Albanian police officer Igli Ajazi was caught with members of a major organized crime gang while on a visa to study criminology at Roehampton University in London.

Ajazi, who worked as a police officer in the north of the country from 2019 to 2022, told officers that he had put his career on "pause."

He was caught when police searched his car and discovered his connections to an Albanian drug clan based in London.

The 28-year-old's phone had messages about selling cannabis in the capital, as well as videos of child abuse, which he said were left on his phone from his job in Albania. 

Ajaz was sentenced to 20 months in prison, but the sentence was commuted to a rehabilitation course and he was given 180 hours of community service.

Former police officer and football enthusiast Admir Hidri , 25, paid a heavy price for getting involved with drug gangs. He jumped out of the window of a cannabis house and broke his back.

Hidri claimed in court that he was forced to work as a housemaid because he had borrowed money from a criminal figure to finance treatment for his sick mother in Albania.

So to pay off the debt, he got a job at a grass house where he was growing £70,000 worth of plants.

Hidri was sentenced to 2.6 months in prison despite claiming that he had jumped out of the window because he was afraid.

The impact of the collision broke two vertebrae in his spine. Another police officer tried to stay in Britain after serving three years in prison for cocaine.

Klisman Sykaj appealed against his deportation to Albania in 2022, after he secretly entered the UK 11 years ago. He was caught red-handed after police raided his flat in Nottingham in 2015 and found cocaine hidden in a pot. Sykaj claimed he had started working as an undercover agent for Interpol before finally admitting the truth. After prison, he was deported to Albania, where he worked as a prison officer. He returned to Britain, but was caught a second time despite having fake Italian documents.

In April last year, Igli Duka , 24, was jailed for 2 years for growing hundreds of cannabis plants at an industrial unit in West Lothian.

He claimed that a notorious gangster he had previously arrested in his country had blackmailed him into doing the job.

Another, who claimed to have infiltrated the Albanian mafia, told British authorities that he was forced to work for members of the group after they revealed his true identity.

When he went to trial in 2021, his lawyer claimed that his client had fled Albania for the United Kingdom after those he had spied on had burned his father's car.

Albanian drug gangs have now become synonymous with music videos, where they pose with jewelry, cash, and expensive cars.

The most famous remain "The Hellbanianz", based in Barking, East London.
