With the strong headline, “ISIS seizes mafia’s 4 billion drug network to finance brutal terror campaign”, Sunday’s British newspaper “Daily Mirror” writes that the jihadists are flooding Britain with cannabis from the Albanian drug farm.
“Islamic State is raising cash for its terror campaign by controlling cannabis farms and shipping the drug to Britain. The diabolical caliphate has brought under control the mafia operations worth 4 billion dollars for the growth of marijuana in the mountains of Albania”, writes the newspaper.
“Private planes and ships send the production worth 4 billion dollars to the drug lords in Italy and the latter distribute it in Europe”, writes “Daily Mirror”.
“ISIS entered this profitable trade after the security services intervened militarily in the headquarters of the Albanian mafia in the hill village of Lazarat”, says the British newspaper.
“Not only did it not end cannabis cultivation, but the 2014 police crackdown paved the way for extremists to take control. They are already recruiting in that area, often from within the ranks of the mafia itself,” the article added.
The newspaper quotes the expert Dr. Marjan Nikolovski, who warns that “Britain is the main market for Albanian cannabis. ISIS is involved in production and trafficking. Therefore, anyone who buys drugs in Britain finances terrorists”, the newspaper quotes the above-mentioned expert.
Scripture does not provide any concrete facts to substantiate this claim, which seems too speculative to be true.
In fact, Britain is not the main market for Albanian cannabis. British police operations in recent years have seized cocaine and heroin from Albanian criminal groups rather than cannabis.
Even the seized cannabis cultivated by the Albanians was cultivated in rented houses in England and Wales and was not cannabis that came from Albania.
The “Daily Mirror” article is based on a lot of old and generalized data, both about the Albanian mafia and the recruitment of Albanian jihadists sent to Syria, and does not provide convincing and hard facts about the connection between Albanian drugs and the financing of ISIS.
