ALBANIAN gangsters flooding the UK with drugs have been warned by crime godfathers there is ONE city that is strictly forbidden.
Over the last 20 years Albanian gangs have seized control of Britain’s booming cocaine market after forming an alliance with deadly Latin American drug cartels.



Their ‘cheap and fast’ British business model has seen them dominate the drugs trade by outpricing competitors, working with local gangs and avoiding pointless bloodshed.
Two decades of success have seen Albanian drug bosses splash their dirty cash on luxury lifestyles – sporting designer clothes while driving Ferraris and Bentleys.
One of the most infamous gangs to rise is The Hellbanianz, who are based on the Gascoigne Estate in Barking, East London.
Unlike other crews, the gang love the limelight and have become known for their garish music videos on social media showing them surrounded by wads of cash, jewellery and flash motors.
The Hellbanianz are understood to traffic millions of pounds worth of drugs into the UK each year.
RISE TO THE TOP
Thousands of Albanians arrived in the UK in the late 1990s and early 2000s during a refugee crisis.
They first made their mark in Soho’s sex trade, where veteran Met detectives were shocked by the routine violence they handed out to the vulernable girls they controlled.
Police sources have told how in the early 2000s they fought against Jamaican and Chinese drug gangs for control of London, to then penetrate all levels of the UK’s £5billion cocaine trade.
