The General Director of Police, Skënder Hita, stated that the objective is not only to uncover cannabis plots, but to destroy the entire criminal structure behind this activity.
At a joint press conference with representatives of the Italian Guardia di Finanza, Hita said that 31 operations had been carried out during 2026, and warned that actions to strike criminal groups would continue.
According to Hita, a particular concern remains the involvement of minors in illegal activities.
“The fight against cannabis must continue until the entire distribution chain is struck, so that drugs do not end up in the hands of young people.
Our focus during the last two months of this year and throughout next year will be on preventing minors from being involved in this criminal activity.
The organization I lead will deepen the results in the fight against cannabis cultivation, striking with the force of the law every link in this criminal activity, from financing and cultivation to sale and trafficking.
I assure citizens and our partners that the Police, in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, is fully committed to fighting crime in general and organized crime in particular”, Hita stated.
