Here's an interesting article about Albanian crime that was published a couple of days ago:

One of 69 Albanians caught hiding in fishing vessel convicted with murder


ONE of 69 Albanians caught hiding in a fishing boat off Norfolk, then absolved of immigration charges on a technicality, is a convicted murderer.

PUBLISHED: 12:20, Sun, Dec 13, 2020 | UPDATED: 13:51, Sun, Dec 13, 2020

A 100ft fishing vessel, sailing from the Ostend area of Belgium, was intercepted by Border Force officers and taken to Harwich last month. Nearly 70 Albanian migrants were found on board. Home Secretary Priti Patel thanked the authorities and the migrants were charged with illegally entering the country. Some of them immediately pleaded guilty. But all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service on Wednesday as they “did not meet the legal case”.

It is believed to be because they had not physically entered the country when arrested.

We can reveal that one of those on the vessel and charged was a man with a murder conviction.

He had been released from a maximum security prison in Albania in January after completing a 15-year sentence for shooting a woman at her home in 1997 following an argument.

Her eight-year-old daughter witnessed the shooting.

It is understood the man, who the Sunday Express is not naming, is now in an immigration removal centre. It is not known if he has applied for asylum. The Home Office declined to confirm whether it was aware of his conviction.

From the comment section:

So who do WE hold responsible if one of our relatives is harmed because 'The Government' are allowing them to stay
Legal Aid should be scrapped for ANY and EVERY INVADER
They are NOT migrants or Asylum Seekers - They are INVADERS - Little lesson that might help 'Someone who breaks into Your Home is NOT a visitor' Someone breaking into OUR Country is an INVADER and a Criminal

What a laughing Stock the UK is!!

Ship em back.

So we are going to giVe asylum to a murderer. And there were two,more people on that boat who were running away because of debt. Mall fbe lot should be returned to Albania where they belong, we have enough wrong uns here of our own without giving asylum to others,

Why do Albanians need asylum. More like economic migrants HR lawyers use to make fraudulent claims against the UK government.

Send them back to Ostend. What a joke this is. Because they hadn't entered our shores the CPS basically let them off. Time to overhaul this pathetic behaviour from our public bodies. These people are supposed to be here to protect us. Seems to me they are protecting the criminals.

Albanian Criminals Now Largest Group of Foreigners in British Prisons




JACK MONTGOMERY 1 May 2020

The number of Albanian criminals in British prisons has increased fourfold since 2013, to the point where they now account for the largest group of foreigners in the estate.

Criminals from the Balkan country — Europe’s only Muslim-majority state, besides the only partially-recognised Republic of Kosovo — make up a full tenth of all foreign national offenders behind bars in England and Wales, despite measures which are supposed to see them transferred to Albanian prisons.

This arrangement was advertised as having the potential to save Britsh taxpayers tens of millions of pounds, but The Times has revealed that only 24 of 77 Albanians recommended for transfer were actually removed to prisons in their home country in 2019.

The Ministry of Justice said in a statement that “Any foreign national who comes to our country and abuses our hospitality by breaking the law should be in no doubt of our determination to punish and deport them” — but, as with illegal aliens who cross the English Channel in boats, the rhetoric does not match the reality in the vast majority of cases.

Here's yet another Albanian murder case from Italy:

Woman arrested over human remains found in cases


Suspect is girlfriend of victims' son




(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 22 - A woman has been arrested in relation to the probe into the homicide of an Albanian couple whose remains were found recently in several suitcases dumped in a field near Florence prison.

The suspect, a 36-year-old Albanian, was the girlfriend of the son of the victims, Sheptim and Teuta Pasho, when they went missing in 2015.

She is accused of homicide and of hiding bodies. (ANSA).

https://www.ansa.it/english/news/gen...922574c25.html

According to Italian-language mainstream media, the Albanian woman who is accused of homicide has a criminal record (theft and fraud), and the murdered couple's Albanian son is a drug dealer who is currently in a Swiss prison.

This is the kind of stuff that Albanians bring to other countries.

Christmas Charity Seeks Donations For Persecuted Serbian Children In Kosovo


Eric Striker Dec 23, 2020

American political dissident Robert Rundo is teaming up with Serbian solidarity group Fondacija Junak (Heroes Foundation) for a relief effort to bring gifts to hundreds of Serbian children living as persecuted minorities in Kosovo.

Kosovo, the historic heartland of the Serbian people, was taken over by an Albanian criminal organization, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), after intervention on their behalf by NATO and Washington in 1999. Native Serbs in the breakaway state are subjected to daily violence and discrimination, including organ theft and sexual slavery, at the hands of KLA commanders who are now top ranking state officials. Kosovo is today Europe's main heroin trafficking transit point and a place crippled by high unemployment, deplorable rates of poverty and violent crime.

On January 13th, Junak relief workers and Rob Rundo will be visiting the besieged population to provide them with desperately needed humanitarian aid.

Rundo's journalism project, Will2Rise, will be setting aside money collected from donations to support the effort. You can do your part here.

Albanian rapper, 20, makes 'instruction videos' on how to sneak into Britain illegally - with tips on using fake IDs and claiming asylum


By TOM KELLY FOR THE DAILY MAIL

PUBLISHED: 21:59 GMT, 28 December 2020 | UPDATED: 14:23 GMT, 29 December 2020

Posing next to expensive cars and in swanky drinking establishments, Dijonis Biba obviously has no problem showing off his flashy lifestyle.

But the Albanian rapper's bragging does not stop there. For Biba, 20, has also been using 'instruction videos' on YouTube to boast about his knowledge of how to sneak into Britain illegally.

His guides, which have been viewed more than 100,000 times, include tips on using fake IDs, airports where these false documents will not be detected and claiming asylum.

Originally from northern Albania, he has a huge following in his homeland on social media. Biba has posted pictures of himself drinking at the top of The Shard, wearing designer clothes and standing in front of sports cars. The hip-hop star also hosts nightly online chats from London.

Killer is allowed to STAY in the UK... because he may harm people in Albania: Schizophrenic escapes deportation after judge hears he might struggle to access medication in his home country


By TOM KELLY INVESTIGATIONS EDITOR FOR THE DAILY MAIL
PUBLISHED: 23:03 GMT, 22 December 2020 | UPDATED: 10:38 GMT, 23 December 2020

A paranoid schizophrenic killer has escaped deportation to Albania on human rights grounds after a judge ruled he might 'harm others' in his homeland.

Astrit Mija killed his flatmate in 2003 and has spent the past 17 years in prison.

He was jailed for life after being found guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility for the attack on Arben Basha at their home in Ipswich – four years after he arrived in Britain and falsely claimed to be a Kosovan refugee.

He would normally be deported after completing his sentence, but an immigration judge ruled that despite free psychiatric care in Albanian hospitals and the killer having a 'strong motivation' to take his medication and not appearing 'obviously mentally unwell', it would breach his human rights to send him home.

Judge Anna-Rose Landes said Mija's lack of family support in Albania meant he might struggle to access the drugs he needed, which would possibly lead him to kill himself or 'harm others'.
(...)
His initial claims that he would not be able to receive medication if he was sent back to Kosovo were rejected and a judge ruled that he was actually Albanian, so he would be returning there.

He then claimed he was in danger from his victim's family, but this was also turned down.
(...)
Earlier this month Albanian paranoid schizophrenic Eltiona Skana admitted killing seven-year-old Emily Jones in a park in Bolton.

Skana came into the UK illegally in the back of the lorry before unsuccessfully applying for asylum after lying about being trafficked.

Foreign gangs making ‘easy profits’ by turning to Channel people smuggling


Charles Hymas 2 days ago

Miles Bonfield, head of organised immigration crime operations, said Kurdish and west Balkans gangs had moved into trafficking migrants in small boats in the past year as a “low threshold, easy entry” crime where they could make substantial profits.
(...)
The west Balkans gangs were primarily ethnic Albanians whom Mr Bonfield described as “poly-criminals”, also smuggling firearms and drugs and money laundering.

Nearly 800 migrants have reached English shores after crossing the Channel in the year to March 8, more than double the 314 in the same period last year, itself a record.

Albanian cyclist, 23, 'fled the scene after running red light and killing pedestrian, 72, because he was worried he would be deported'


By SAM BAKER FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 18:43 GMT, 15 March 2021 | UPDATED: 18:44 GMT, 15 March 2021

A cyclist accused of knocking down and killing a hospital worker told a court today he did not stop over fears he would be deported to Albania.

Emir Loka, 23, allegedly rode through a red light and hit Peter McCombie, 72, while the HR administrator was on his way home from the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.

After being hit, Mr McCombie's head hit the pavement so hard he fractured his skull and damaged his brain.

The 72-year-old also suffered a fractured jaw bone, a broken rib and bruising to his legs in the collision on July 3, 2020.

Snaresbrook Crown Court heard McCombie was taken to hospital for treatment but died from his injuries eight days later.

Today is a 22 years commemoration day of Judeo-NATO bombing of Serbia which started on 24th of March 1999 and ended on 10th of June 1999. The bombing lasted for 78 days. The main reason for the bombing was that Serbia tried to fight against the Jew-backed Albanian Muslim terrorists who did terrible atrocities in Kosovo against Serbians.

NATO Airstrikes commence on Yugoslavia

NATO Airstrikes commence on Yugoslavia

In that Zionist bombing campaign 249 Serbian military personnel and 22 policemen were killed. The great majority of casualties however were Serbian civilians because Judeo-NATO forces could not do great harm to the Serbian military, they were tricked and most of their airstrikes were done on fake targets like this one:





Judeo-NATO forces also suffered great casualties, around 362 aircraft units were downed (by Russian secret service sources), of course NATO denies that and tries to minimize that number.



Because they felt overplayed and powerless to do any serious harm to the Serbian military, the cowardish and furious Zionist NATO warhawks started the same old tactic which they used before in Dresden and they started targeting civilian objects, schools, hospitals, railway stations etc.

Around 2500 Serbian civilians were killed and 6000 injured. Many Serbian children were killed.
The youngest child which was murdered was a 11 months old little girl named Bojana Tošović who was killed together with her father.




Bojana's mother was pregnant then with Bojana's sister Anđelka, she was injured but she luckily survived.



A three years old girl named Milica Rakić was also killed by a Judeo-NATO cluster-bomb.



and a two years old Marko Simić


and many more Serbian children.....


And who were the main perpetrators of these crimes you may ask. Well, of course they were the US deepstate Jews on top of them with Madeleine Albright (Korbelova) who was the main anti-Serbian warhawk in Bill Clinton's presidency and who campaigned to destroy the Serbs.

I wish 362 000 or 362 000 000 of NATO aircrafts were downed but do you have a single evidence for your claim? Not a mysterious Russian sources never seen before, not an argument "one grandmother told me". Zionist NATO attack against Serbia was unpunished and had no negative impact on invaders. We shouldn't satisfy ourselves with secret numbers insteas of doing something in reality.

Doesn´t seem possible, for comparison here´s how many ZOG aircraft were destroyed by Iraq during the Gulf War, we can assume Iraq had more capabilities than Serbia did.

Some links and sources, most of them are in Russian and Serbian but I will try to find some English sources as well.

Here is a list with dates and info about aircraft units shot down: https://www.alo.rs/razbibriga/zaniml...ne/268483/vest

another one in Russian: http://www.slobodan-memoria.narod.ru/st/hronika.htm

Some info in English:

https://archive.is/20040526181743/ht...s-review01.htm

According to a March 25, 2000, article published by the ITAR-TASS news agency, Russian GRU (Main Intelligence Directorate) sources report that during the Operation "Allied Force" NATO's air forces sustained losses considerably higher than is officially acknowledged by NATO command. According to GRU information, NATO lost three F-117A stealth bombers, and at least 40 other combat planes, and over 1000 cruise missiles.

So far NATO officials acknowledged losing three combat planes (the USAF F-117A on March 27, the USMC AV-8B Harrier on May 1, and the F-16CG-40-CF on May 2), two attack helicopters (AH-64 Apache on April 26 and another Apache on May 5), between 30 and 32 unmanned reconnaissance vehicles, including at least 16 American, 7 German, and 5 French UAVs. Interestingly enough NATO acknowledged all of the UAV losses mentioned by Yugoslav military officials - 30 - and, perhaps, even more.

Official NATO reports and statements made by various NATO officials indicate that about 10 NATO planes made emergency landings. Two F-117As sustained extensive damage (the F-117A 86-0837 was damaged on April 21 during landing; and another F-117A lost a part of its tail section due to a nearby SA-3 SAM explosion). An RAF C-130K Hercules transport plane crashed on June 11 in Albania. The aircraft was delivering a British SAS unit that was trying to beat Russian paratroopers to the Slatina base. The US Army OH-58 combat reconnaissance helicopter crashed on May 26 in Bosnia.

According to the information from unofficial Yugoslav military sources, NATO's final assessment of its aircraft losses during the operation "Allied Force" indicates that some 61 aircraft have been destroyed, 53 aircraft were damaged beyond repair or it is not cost-effective to repair them, 57 aircraft have sustained repairable combat damage. A total of 171 NATO aircraft were hit by Yugoslav defenses during the war.

According to Yugoslav army officials, NATO lost 61 planes, 7 helicopters, 30 UAVs, and 238 cruise missiles. These numbers include only those NATO aircraft that crashed inside Yugoslavia. Distribution of aircraft kills among various units and branches of the Yugoslav Armed Forces is as follows: 3rd Army: 34 planes, 5 helicopters, 25 UAVs and 52 cruise missiles (according to an official statement by General Nebojsa Pavkovic, commander of the 3rd Army, on June 12, 1999); Navy: 3 planes, 3 UAVs and over 5 cruise missiles (from an official statement by the FRY Navy Commander, Milan Zec, June 10, 1999); 2nd Army: 24 planes, 2 helicopters, 2 UAVs (reported by Major General Spasoje Smiljanic in his interview to Politika newspaper at the end of April), 30 cruise missiles; 1st Army: 6 planes, 129 cruise missiles (reported by General Ninoslav Krstic in his interview for the "Vojska" magazine on May 24, 1999.) If you add up these numbers, provided by various Yugoslav military officials, you will see that the number of planes reported to have been shot down is 67 and not 61 as the official report by Gen. Dragoljub Ojdanic states. And here's why:

On June 17, 1999, Gen. Spasoje Smiljanic, then commander of Yugoslav Air Force and Air Defense (RV i PVO), announced that "the Yugoslav Air Force and Air Defence units have downed 36 airplanes, 42 cruise missiles, nine UAVs and two helicopters." It is important to keep in mind, however, that RV i PVO air defense units do not include low-level army air defenses or naval air defenses, such as man-portable SAMs and some AAAs. The total number planes shot down by RV i PVO and by various air defense units outside of RV i PVO command comes to 61 planes, 7 helicopters, 30 UAVs and 238 cruise missiles according to Gen. Ojdanic. However, these figures only include those NATO aircraft that crashed inside Yugoslavia. In some of the earlier reports mentioned above Yugoslav military commanders included NATO aircraft that crashed outside Yugoslavia.

Several new pieces of destroyed NATO hardware were added to the Yugoslav Aeronautical Museum's exhibit on March 24 to commemorate one year since the beginning of NATO's aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Currently the museum's exhibit includes over 1500 fragments of NATO's military hardware. The museum's curator, Cedomir Janjic, announced that more destroyed NATO weapons will be soon added to the collection in a new wing of the museum dedicated to the war with NATO.

In an interview to the Associated Press Yugoslavia's Minister for Science and Development, Cedomir Mirkovic, said "It is truly amazing how many aircraft and drones were downed with the relatively modest and primitive equipment..." Mirkovic refutes Western claims that Yugoslav air defense downed only two planes. "We shall prove we have more," he said, without elaborating.

In February British press was discussing sharp shortage of operational aircraft experienced by the Royal Air Force. The news first appeared in the January 23, 2000, Hundreds of Crippled Jets put RAF in Crisis article from The Observer, by Antony Barnet. In particular, the article, based on the Observer's own investigation, outlines the following problems with the RAF:

"Two out of three of the UK's 186 fleet of Tornado bombers are grounded;

Fewer than 40 per cent of other frontline aircraft, such as Harriers and Jaguars, are ready to fly at short notice;

The Ministry of Defence has spent almost £1 billion developing a laser-guided bombing system that does not work properly;

There is shortage of nearly 20 per cent of junior officer fast jet pilots and the RAF is having a severe problem in retaining trained pilots;"

Two out of three British Tornadoes that are grounded comes to a rather substantial number: 124 Tornado strike aircraft are not operational. The crisis begun developing following the Operation "Desert Storm" in Iraq, but it really took off since the Operation "Allied Force" against Yugoslavia. As far as I know only four NATO Tornado aircraft were shot down during the conflict based on media reports. Two Luftwaffe strike aircraft were shot down on March 26-27. The other two Tornadoes were shot down on April 15 and May 26. It was not reported whether these aircraft were German or British.

The fact is that most of RAF's strike aircraft are out of order for a variety of reasons. I do not have enough information to draw any definitive conclusions. However, I know enough to say that 124 strategically - important strike aircraft are not grounded for no reason. NATO sustained significant losses. An even greater number of aircraft were damaged not only by ground fire but also by the intensity of operations and skipping on the required maintenance hours. After talking to several USAF aircraft mechanics, who participated in the "Allied Force", I can conclude that NATO aircraft were pushed to the limit and way beyond it. This is especially true for the USAF aircraft. One USAF aircraft mechanic who served at Aviano told me: "Two weeks - three weeks tops - and the "Allied Force" would have been over 'cause NATO would have ran out of working planes."

In the February 13 article in The Observer, based on first-hand information posted by RAF pilots and technicians at an Internet discussion group and entitled Pilots Vent Fury at RAF on Web, Antony Barnet writes: "Pilots currently serving in the Gulf, and others recently back from Kosovo, are so angry about defective equipment and low morale they are flooding the secret site with complaints aimed at senior officers." The "secret" site is the PPRuNe message board for military pilots. I've spent several days at that site fishing for information until that Sherlock from The Observer scared everyone away with his article.

From what was written by RAF pilots, it can be readily seen that there is a great deal of concern about technical capabilities of aircraft and even about their basic safety compromised by the lack of proper technical service and spare parts. An RAF Captain wrote: "The number of sorties lost due to unserviceability is way too high. I now find that I have to accept faults to get the job done that a few years ago I would not have done ... Although I have a few worries about the structural strength of the airframe I am convinced that we are going to have a major problem due to some esoteric fault... We struggle to get spares, some parts have to be manufactured over and over. We use the cheapest contractor we can find..."

And, in place of a conclusion, a brief review of the latest developments around Kosovo. Following some harsh criticism directed by the U.S. military against France regarding its role in the Operation "Allied Force" and in response to the accusations by certain US government officials that French peacekeepers in Kosovo are not doing their job, France released classified information regarding civilian casualties in Kosovo since the NATO-led UN force assumed responsibility for the province following the war with Yugoslavia. Available statistics clearly illustrated that the French sector of Kosovo has a better safety record than the sector supervised by the Americans.

However, information revealed by France also showed that civilian casualties in Kosovo are much higher than they were when Kosovo was under Yugoslav control. In essence, the number of violent deaths in the province is higher and continues to grow under NATO's "humanitarian intervention" that it was during the "ethnic cleansing." The report released by France clearly illustrates that the number of violent crimes in Kosovo is rapidly growing. This revelation was the first step in a series of events that led to recent statements by various UN and NATO officials confirming that the KFOR has effectively lost control over the situation in Kosovo. NATO field commanders acknowledged that their troops are not capable of dealing with the growing crime wave in the province. The UN formally announced that the situation in Kosovo worsened since NATO troops assumed control of the province. The US approached Russian government with an offer to widen the authority of the Contact Group.

Russia's response was not very optimistic to say the least. Russian law enforcement officials announced that Russian policemen will not be deployed in Kosovo because of appalling lack of cooperation on NATO's side. Furthermore, top Russian military commanders announced that Russia may pull out of the KFOR altogether. On the other hand, commander of Russian Airborne Assault Forces (VDV) Gen. G. Shpak announced about plans to convert the Slatina base of the Yugoslav Air Force near Pristina, which currently serves as the main base for Russian KFOR paratroopers, into a large Russian military base with a capability to barrack up to 15000 Russian troops.

There are reports that Russians are already doing some large-scale construction work at Slatina. Russian Su-27 and Su-30 fighter aircraft have been sighted at several Yugoslav Air Force bases (Batajnica, Ponikve). There is a lot of unofficial information regarding deliveries of Russian SAM systems to Yugoslavia. High-level meetings are underway between Yugoslav and Russian governments regarding Yugoslavia's plans to join the Russia-Belarus union. The Russian military is extremely interested in establishing its presence in Kosovo and in the rest of Serbia on a greater scale. A logical first step would be a joint defense agreement between Russia and Yugoslavia. Such an agreement will include Belarus and, possibly, other CIS members. In an interview to the "Voice of Russia" radio station, Gen. Ivashov said that Russia is considering a military intervention in Kosovo and may offer support to the Yugoslav Army on the ground.

Many question Yugoslavia's ability to purchase large quantities of hi-tech weapons from Russia. Yugoslavia's economy is not in great shape, but Russia owes FRY a hefty sum, which Russians would be only too glad to offset by supplying Serbia weapons. Russia is also seeking more influence in Europe now that the Chechen conflict is no longer a major military commitment. Russian generals and the military-industrial complex look to expand internal arms market as well as arms exports. Yugoslavia always has an option to lease or even borrow weapons from Russia. And the latter, with its recently-downsized army, has plenty of decent-quality weapons to spare, including SAMs and aircraft. SAMs and planes are not underwear: you don't need to own 'em to use 'em. This may not be the latest equipment but it works and there's a lot of it.

According to an ITAR-TASS review of the article published by the Foreign Military Review magazine of the Russian Defense Ministry, Yugoslav aviation prevented the use of American AH-64 Apache attack helicopters during the Kosovo conflict. The "NATO Losses in the War with Yugoslavia" article, the Foreign Military Review writes: "... the biggest sensation was the number of troops lost by NATO. Not just NATO pilots were killed in Yugoslavia, but also search-and-rescue troops that were tasked with locating downed pilots. Yugoslav air defenses have shot down no less than five NATO helicopters, which resulted in deaths of about 100 troops of the Alliance."

According to the Foreign Military Review, the reason why Pentagon did not use Apaches in Kosovo "...had nothing to do with technical problems with the helicopters or insufficient training of their flight crews, as was often stated by NATO officials. The only reason was the April 26 attack carried out by Yugoslav "Galeb" fighters against "Rinas" airport located near Albania's capital of Tirana, where the Apaches were based. That day two groups of these light helicopters were destroyed and over 10 helicopters were damaged."

A similar operation was carried out by Yugoslav AF on April 18 against the airport in Tuzla, Bosnia, used as an emergency landing site for NATO aircraft. As the result of this attack some fifteen NATO aircraft have been destroyed on the ground. The Foreign Military Review writes: "Despite the fact that American aircraft dominated NATO operations, they weren't the only aircraft shot down by Yugoslav air defenses. Among the destroyed aircraft were five German "Tornadoes," several British "Harriers'" two French "Mirages," Belgian, Dutch, and Canadian aircraft. On June 7 the USAF lost a B-52 strategic bomber, while on May 20 a B-2A "Spirit" was shot down." Information regarding the B-52 loss comes as a surprise to me. I have seen a brief eyewitness report regarding this incident, but it was never mentioned in press or on the NATO losses list on my site. Looking at the eyewitness report listing compiled by aviation enthusiasts in Yugoslavia, we can find the following entry (#381): June 7, between 0:12 and 0:40, area between Slankamen and Indjija, One large bomber (most probably B-52) was shot down. Aircraft exploded after a direct SAM hit. Crew killed."

For American aviation, he does not give any final figures, for British - he reports with reference to "Russian intelligence" that at least 16 attack aircraft "Tornado" and "Harrier" were written off. In most cases, Zampini does not list the serial numbers of the downed vehicles; in cases where he indicates a number, verification by other sources shows that this machine continued to be used after the war

За два месяца бомбардировок по TV показали сбитые F-117 и F-16. Где же обломки других самолетов? Не все же они в море падали? А если сбивали на суше, то где же лётчики? Например, лётчика ночного бомбардировщика натовские спасатели вытащили чуть ли не из центра Белграда.

translation:

Andrei Martynov, Russian who fought in Kosovo as a volunteer, expressed the following opinion in the "Soldier of Fortune" magazine (No. 12, 1999):

Enemy aviation sometimes went literally over our heads, confident of their impunity. The victorious reports of the Serbian commandment about the alleged dozens of downed planes is a fairy tale. During the two months of bombing, downed F-117 and F-16 were shown on TV. Where is the wreckage of other aircraft? Didn't they all fall into the sea? And if they were shot down on land, then where are the pilots? For example, NATO rescuers dragged the pilot of a night bomber almost from the center of Belgrade.

Who are you trying to cheat with such fairy tales now?

Italian Police Arrest Three Men Over Staged Kidnapping by Jihadists That Turned Real - Reports

What was supposed to be a lucrative business deal disguised as a kidnapping ended up with two men being taken hostage for three years by militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*. Ironically, one of the terrorists' hostages, Italian businessman Alessandro Sandrini, was reportedly accused of fraud and faking a crime.

Police in Italy have arrested three men for orchestrating the abduction of two Italians who were held captive in Syria for three years, Sputnik Italy reported on Tuesday.

Back in 2016, the three apprehended - two Albanians residing in the northern province of Brescia, Frrokaj Fredi, 43, and Mitraj Olsi, 41, and an Italian citizen, Alberto Zanini, 54, - had persuaded local businessmen Alessandro Sandrini and Sergio Zanotti to fly to Turkey as a quid pro quo.

Sandrini was allegedly allured by the offer of faking his kidnapping and, as a result, earning ransom money while in Turkey, while Zanotti was reportedly seduced by a business deal involving Iraqi currency.

After arriving in Turkey, both businessmen were allegedly "sold" to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham - militants that are now operating largely in Syria's province of Idlib. The three criminals reportedly had accomplices in Turkey who carried out the abduction and handed the two Italians over to terrorists.

Sandrini was taken hostage in October 2016 and was freed in May of 2019.

Zanotti departed Italy in April 2016 and was incarcerated until April 2019, returning back home through diplomatic action.

According to local media reports, Sandrini is now being charged with fraud and staging a crime as part of the same investigation that led to the arrests. There is no information if charges are also being pressed against the other hostage.

According to Italian media, a third businessman was approached about heading to Turkey as well, but backed out at the last minute, refusing to board his plane.

*Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra) is a terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other states.

Albanian Drug Gangsters Claiming to be Slaves to Skirt Jail Time: Report


KURT ZINDULKA 8 Apr 2021

Members of Albanian drug gangs are reportedly claiming to be victims of modern slavery to avoid serving jail time in Britain, as they continue their push to corner the marijuana black market.

Albanian “gardeners” are being brought into the country illegally to staff massive grow houses, equipped with booby-traps in barbed-wire protected compounds. Once in the country, the workers are then provided access to a network of “professional enablers”, including accountants, translators, and solicitors.

A report from the London Times said that the foreign gangsters are increasingly taking advantage of a legal loophole in the National Referal Mechanism for modern slavery, telling officers once caught that they were forced to grow the drug by higher-ups in the organisation.

Through this, the growers are able to avoid jail time and are instead transferred into publicly funded housing meant for victims of human trafficking.
