🇦🇱 ALBANIAN DRUG LORD’S RISE HIGHLIGHTS GLOBAL COCAINE BOOM
Dritan Rexhepi, an Albanian drug lord, rose to power from Ecuadorian prison, building a network that rivaled Mexico’s cartels.
His alliances spanned South America to Europe, making Albania a key player in the global cocaine trade.
Cocaine production has surged, with South America producing over twice as much as a decade ago.
Europe is now a top market, with demand skyrocketing and Albanian networks dominating the trade through strategic partnerships and corruption.
Caught in Turkey in 2023, Rexhepi’s arrest underscores the massive expansion of global drug networks, now reaching Africa, Asia, and beyond.
