Albanian organized crime is a serious issue, but it is neither new nor as endemic as depicted here on FR.

If you're going to worry about organized crime, there are many more syndicates out there who's influence is far more baneful and more fully entrenched in the apparatus of power where they operate.

Trying to change the focus of the conversation, I see? What does this have to do with the fact that we went out of our way to protect and reward a bunch of Mafia types who should have been allowed their natural fate?

From the early 90's, ask the Chicago PD why they were ordered to release 5 Albanians caught redhanded with stolen jewelry and the tools they used to steal the multimillion dollars in jewelry. Now, get this, that was not confiscated either- within 24 hrs, those same Albanians fled the USA for their motherland- Tirane. There was plenty of "influence" with the aforementioned.
