"He mixed the underworld with the secret service"/ Journalist:

Journalist Artan Hoxha, invited to the show "Opinion", spoke about the Iranian threat in Albania. Hoxha said that in our country there have been concrete acts where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has tried to create situations in its favor. According to the journalist, a member of the IRGC had acted in Albania using heroin trafficking connections.

Hoxha announced that a member of the IRGC's Quds unit was captured in 2011 in Albania and turned out to have strong ties to the Shijak and Tirana groups.

The journalist said that being one of the most important branches of heroin trafficking, Iran used this to enter Albania and create strong ties with local groups.

Regarding the member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard arrested in Albania, Hoxha stated that he was one of the most important figures linking the underworld with the Iranian secret service.

 

" Concrete acts have occurred in Albania, in which the espionage services and the Revolutionary Guard services have tried to create situations in Albania in their favor. It was headed by a member of the Quds unit of the Revolutionary Guard in Iran and in Albania he had operated in a very strange way, using both these cultural connections, but also heroin trafficking connections. And one of the members of this unit was captured in Albania in 2011, and had very strong connections with the Shijak groups, with the Tirana groups. Iran is known to be one of the most important branches of heroin trafficking. And they, using this branch, entered Albania and had very strong connections. This person, when we re-captured him, because he left, when the Quds cell was discovered, was one of the most important characters who mixed the Albanian criminal world with the interests of the Iranian secret service ," said Hoxha./CNA
