"Albanian extremist crime groups have emerged in the city and became more active. So far, we cannot say whether these groups dominate, but they commit the cruelest felonies," Garcia said.
Experts say the Balkan route provides 25-40% of the entire heroin market in the United States.
The FBI says in its reports that the Albanian mafia has emerged as a serious organized crime problem, threatening to displace La Cosa Nostra families as kingpins of U.S. crime.
