The strong message from the US embassy: Albanian criminal groups pose a threat
Nancy VanHorn

The United States Charge d'Affaires in Albania, Nancy VanHorn , stated that the fight against organized crime and narcotics trafficking remains a key priority for the United States.

Her statement was made during her speech at the conclusion of the FBI's Mobile Phone Surveillance Analysis training, where the heads of SPAK and BKH were also present.

In her speech, the senior American diplomat underlined that the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking remains a key priority for the United States, recalling President Donald Trump's call for the complete elimination of international organized crime.

"We will persistently pursue President Trump's priorities in Albania, strengthening institutions that fight organized crime and narcotics trafficking such as SPAK, BKH, and the Security Academy," VanHorn said.

VanHorn emphasized that these groups use increasingly sophisticated methods and modern technologies, creating serious threats to national security.

The full speech of the US envoy:

Thank you, Rector Mandro, Special Counsel Braho, and Director Keta, for joining us to mark the conclusion of this important training. And I also want to thank our FBI colleagues Brendan Collins and Kala, it's a pleasure to see you again, Joe Danneff from the FBI's Cell Phone Surveillance Analysis Team, who shared their expertise.

So, anyone who follows the United States Embassy here in Albania knows that combating organized crime and drug trafficking is a top priority for us. And when President Trump called for the complete elimination of international organized crime, he highlighted that these criminals employ “complex adaptive” behaviors, creating unusual and evolving threats to our national security.

And as Secretary Rubio said, international criminal and terrorist organizations, particularly those engaged in narcotics trafficking, are the greatest threat to United States security in the Western Hemisphere, where these groups are destabilizing nation-states and driving mass migration.

We will persistently pursue President Trump's priorities in Albania, strengthening institutions that fight organized crime and narcotics trafficking such as SPAK, BKH, and the Security Academy.

Criminal networks, including Albanian groups collaborating with Latin American cartels mentioned by Secretary Rubio, pose significant threats to Albania’s security and economic progress through activities such as drug trafficking and money laundering. As you have seen throughout this course, these crimes are being enabled by modern technologies.

And through this training, you now have new investigative tools and analytical skills to leverage mobile data in criminal investigations. This improves your investigations, while also ensuring compliance with the highest legal and ethical standards.

And you now have new equipment and capabilities for improved investigations that will lead to more prosecutions and stronger sentences of members of organized crime.

So, congratulations on completing this course and thank you for allowing me to be with you today.
