 "Ethnic Albanians" (as the German police officially calls them), migrated from Albania or North Macedonia or Kosovo, due to the war in Kosovo.Despite their relatively small number, they have quickly taken over the criminal networks of heroin and prostitution faster than any other ethnic group has ever done.In 1999, there were many fake "Albanian" banks that transferred great amounts of money out of Germany in order to finance the KLA guerrilla in Kosovo.
