Albanian organized crime groups are the headlines of the six-month report that the Italian Antimafia (DIA) submitted to the Assembly, which explains the connections they have with local mafia organizations such as Ndragheta, etc., but also the details on involvement in businesses and money laundering.

At one point of the report, the close relationship that the Albanians have established with Casamonica, being involved in the business world in the Italian capital, is underlined.

"In Rome, the Albanian mafia has established relations with Roman organized crime, primarily those of Casamonica, not only for drug trafficking, but also for money laundering", Mario Conio, head of the center, reported at the hearing at the Anti-Mafia Commission. operational of DIA in Rome.

"Albanians, from the point of view of criminal influence, are the heirs of Casamonicas. They have the same stamp, in which violence is the way they express themselves to control the territory", it is further underlined.

As for the region bordering Puglia and Calabria, the report underlines that mafia phenomena have evolved between the provinces of Potenza and Matera.

On the Ionian coast, the Calabrian clans have formed a criminal axis with indigenous groups and the dominant criminal interests in this area are those of drug trafficking (also with the participation of Albanian syndicates), extortion and money laundering, especially in the commercial activities of the tourist hotel.

In Liguria this is how Ndragheta operates and Calabrian mafia crime is structured in Genoa, Lavagna and Ventimiglia, recognizing "Liguria" as a criminal macrozone subject to the control of local gangs based there.

"Regarding the presence of groups with other criminal origins, the presence of individual extra-regional projections of the Camorra and the Sicilian mafia can be observed, although not organized in structured associations. All the provinces of Liguria are characterized by the presence of foreign criminal associations, often composed by irregular citizens from outside the EU, of African, South American or European origin, operating mainly in the drug trafficking and trade sector.In some recent anti-drug operations, there is evidence of operational synergies between, among others Albanian organized crime with subjects attributed to Ndrangheta and indigenous crime. As for Genoa, one of the latest activities, which confirms the investigative hypotheses, is the arrest of the super fugitive Pasquale Bonavota. He was known as the promoter, leader and organizer of the Bonavota gang," the report further quoted.
