Arms trafficking, is red alert "From Puglia to Gheddafi"

The alarm was launched by the second department of the Guardia di Finanza, theintelligence of yellow flames. It was immediately picked up by services and counter-terrorism. The alarm is red. It concerns the Puglia: from our shores, along our usual sales channels, perhaps for the arms of some of thecriminals, it may take at this time for weapons to Colonel Gheddafi. The weapons to fight a war. Kalashnikov(Russian assault rifle AK-47 and Chinese Type 56). Makarov 9mm semiautomatic pistols, night vision, light mortars and ammunition. Ammunition from the former Soviet Union countries, Belarus in particolar. But most of all daughters of the war in the former Yugoslavia and now in the hands of the Serbian mafia, the most powerful in Europe at this time thanks to the arsenal and the economic capability.

The route used is substantially the same today that the Serbs are mainly to do withcigarettes and drugs. Triangulation is one of the former Yugoslavia, Puglia, Greece, Turkey and the countries of northern Africa. I traffici si sono intensificati notevolmente negli ultimi anni, come da tempo denuncia il procuratore di Bari, Antonio Laudati. And as a series of investigations have shown that his attorney has conducted in recentyears and particularly over the last 24 months.

The ball game is entirely in the hands of foreign mafia, which uses as the main port ofdisposal of the Bar, Montenegro. And 'there that leave the containers full of weapons, were labeled as normal junk. That's where bribes are stretched to avoid any kind of control. The direction of those containers is often Bari, where the local underworld offers (in exchange for competitive prices on the drug market), a logistics platform: drugs to the north part of Europe, the weapons are instead shunted to the ports ofGreece and Turkey. The Apulian specialize in this type of work. They do have always learned with cigarettes.

He also told Goran Stanjevic, former representative of the Agency for Foreign Investments of Montenegro, just to the magistrates of the DDA in Bari who has longinvestigated the links between the Apulian mafia and that of the countries of the formerYugoslavia. The survey was one that led to the trial of eight people for the international trafficking ofcigarettes and that has saved the former president of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic,only because of diplomatic immunity.

"From what I know - he told Stanjevic minutes to deputy prosecutor Giuseppe Scelsi -in Bar there are warehouses full of weapons. Sales to Libya, Syria, the Arab countries. And I also know that those stores are also working Trai 500 and 600 Italians”. Bar is not the only point of departure. The intelligence Atlantic argues that the ports of Durres and Vlora, off the coast of Puglia, has the same capacity for sorting: Republic said in recent days as there are crammed into the containers 100 thousandtons of poorly guarded weapons made ​​in China in the old stockpile of Enver Hoxha,are another tempting source. Just a year ago, for example, just departed from Durres on board a cargo ship with150 thousand mortar shells 82 mm in the direction of the Libyan port of Ras Lanuf. Just as it is a fact that in recent years, in almost all wars that have devastated the countries of Central Africa, have been found Chinese-made weapons came directlyfrom Albania and its triangulated by Gaddafi.

Libya, in fact. The intelligence of the Atlantic officially admitted that countrie "There is no evidence of how the illegal flow of arms to Libya is an activity thatcontinues, and in fact has intensified in this period”. Gaddafi need weapons because the traditional channel that moves through thesouthern deserts (Chad and Sudan) and Western (Algeria) is now essentially out of order. So the only way left to the sea. And the only sellers can Russians and Serbs. "That which does not lack the economic capacity to Gaddafi is" explain the intelligence men. At this time the value of the weapons in the bag of the Mediterranean has practically become ten times higher. "And brokers have opened the gates of the Balkans”. Just the price explosion has essentially blocked the parallel course that had arisen,namely the one that supplied the insurgents in Benghazi, the opponents of the Colonel.The weapons are sold to the highest bidder.
