Representatives of the Guardia di Finanza, in a joint press conference with the highest representatives of the State Police, where Police Director Skënder Hita was also present, spoke about the cooperation between the parties.
The Guardia di Finanza underlines that the cooperation between them and the State Police has yielded results.
They stated that they have increased aerial monitoring, combating cannabis cultivation. According to them, aerial monitoring has increased, also due to modern means that are now used for surveillance.
According to the Guardia di Finanza, most cannabis cultivation in Albania occurs in the north of the country, where traffickers have less and less territory to grow narcotics.
Representative of the Guardia di Finanza: I want to present the concrete results of the anti-drug operations. We work with the most modern means, with helicopters that can observe from the air at any time, these means have the best aerial sensors.
We have identified suspicious areas. We have increased operational capabilities as well as the efficiency and value of bilateral cooperation in the fight against international drug trafficking. We have also reached difficult areas, especially in northern Albania.
Traffickers are choosing places that are more isolated because we now have the right tools to observe more from the air.
