Criminal Albanians rising Group in Drug Trade

Gangs from Albania have become increasingly important in Dutch crime. They are mainly involved major offenses in organized crime. The head of the Rotterdam police, Frank Paauw, has recently returned from a visit to Albania for the purpose of discussing illegal travelers and organized crime. In 2015, there were about 300 incidents with Albanian suspects, a year later in 2016 that had increased to 1000. Paauw said that trade in cocaine and human trafficking are their core business.  In the Netherlands, the number of official Albanian citizens is 800. The number of suspected criminals is almost as high. Police and justice officials in Amsterdam have suggested that Albanians should be required to obtain a visa when traveling to countries in the Schengen area.
