Journalist Artan Hoxha explained why Albania has become an operational base of cocaine.

During his explanation, the journalist said that traffickers bring cocaine to Albania because the cost is cheaper than taking it directly to the market. Hoxha said that the load of the container in the port costs 300 thousand euros and what you have inside no one can touch.

"Only with the wholesale price, we have any kind of board, the only board where the price is stable is that of narcotics, only there the state has not entered. We do not have a board for bananas. The price of bananas depends on what comes with it.

We have blocked a ship full of coal from Colombia, we are keeping it there, we have also blocked the quay. They are only mentioned in June. On June 7, the DEA seized 350kg of cocaine in San Paolo at a safe base and then seized cargo in Portugal. Brazil transit country. If caught in Brazil it comes from Peru.

The load that exposed us in Brazil was that of Elbasan KS. That of June was 1 ton. On June 12, 2 tons were seized. Two people were arrested, Franc Malo and Gent Meta. We caught these boys with 2 kilos of heroin. These are not the bosses, they arrange the deals, but the principle is that the boss does not touch the merchandise.

We have cocaine that is made abroad where only money and traffic here in Albania. To import cocaine into Albania you must have control over the port.

Practically an organization is interested in landing in Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2.2 ton was interested in landing in the Netherlands. They had a cocaine that they had dissolved in asparagus and he did a double job, he made it juice, he packed it in canned asparagus, he would bring it to Europe and process it again. We have the share that is made out and normally they will bring it as close to the market as it reduces costs. Why do they bring it to Albania? They bring it to Albania because the cost of bringing it to Albania is cheaper than taking it directly to the market. At the port they pay less than anyone paid in Rotterdam. 300 thousand euros load of the container, what you have inside no one touches.

It's long since the cost of this long operation comes out cheaper. Our police officers are cheaper than those there and in these conditions they prefer to pay longer and pay less. From the trafficker is an illegal businessman. We are back on an operational cocaine base. You have inside infrastructure, processing laboratories and a secure base. Processing laboratory, it does not come dust, they benefit from raw materials of the food industry.

Go to taxes and see what we export. I was told a new form, sugar. "They do not leave the brick, but put it in sugar" , said Hoxha in the show "The Unexposed".
