Criminal Mujahedin-e-Khalq In Albania – Police Alerts US Embassy
MEK Mafia Collaboration Panics Europe
Evidence of criminal collaboration between Italy’s notorious ‘Ndrangheta clan and the Albanian based MEK terrorist cult has alarmed European security services. News that two high ranking MEK members had been arrested in July 2021 on charges of smuggling drugs into Italy, along with several other cases of criminal activity by MEK members had previously been suppressed. Media articles were retracted, and prosecutions quelled after intervention by the US embassy in Tirana.
However, news published by Report TV – later retracted but echoed by Lapsi.al and Syri.net – reveals the extent of MEK criminal activity and links to mafia in Italy and Albania as well as alleged links to Middle East smuggling rings. State police provided information that from 2019 to 2021, the MEK have attempted to illegally traffic 400 MEK members from Albania to France. The police also revealed that MEK were involved with Albanian and Greek criminal groups in trafficking 7 Iranian, Kurdish and Syrian asylum seekers along with evidence of drug smuggling.
This news [see below] has alarmed European security personnel, not least the Italians. Albanian journalist Gjergji Thanasi was contacted by several Italian media organisations covering this news. Thanasi observed that the collaboration between the military and intelligence trained MEK in Albania and the ‘Ndrangheta in Italy has seriously spooked the security communities of both countries.
MEK leader Maryam Rajavi, who had been based in France, was expelled from Europe in 2018 after she and the MEK were linked to a series of serious security risks. Rajavi took up residence in Albania from where she continued her anti-Iranian propaganda activities under the protection of the American embassy. It is unconscionable that this dangerous organisation with its history of military training, including bomb making and special tactics, intelligence work, money laundry, corruption of officials and its criminal activities, be enabled to re-enter Europe through the back door of organised crime.
After Being Deported From EU, Maryam Rajavi Threatens Albanians
It is clear that the unrestrained criminality of the MEK poses a massive threat to Europe and has little to do with any pretended opposition to Iran. Indeed, the secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Office, Kazem Gharibabadi, responded to a EU parliament resolution on the death sentence in Iran, which he characterised as interference in the sovereignty of another country, by pointing out the hypocrisy of EU countries “supporting the MKO terrorist group and referring to such a dangerous group as political opponents”.

Police seize Mujahedin involved in trafficking, but they are released after being ‘protected by embassies’
17/02/2022
Verified Albanian police sources suggest that Mojahedin housed as political refugees in Albania are involved in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and smuggling, but the cases proven against them are blocked for political reasons.
This is the news published today by Report TV, testifying to concrete cases. According to this television channel, the State Police, has provided information that from 2019 to 2021 they have attempted to illegally smuggle to France 400 members of Camp Ashraf 3, where the Mojahedin are housed under an agreement dating back to 2013 and sponsored by the US.
Police documents also mention two senior officers of the MEK militant organisation, who deal with the organisation of illegal activity in co-operation with Albanian criminal groups. The same information made public by Report TV has been followed by Lapsi.al for several weeks.
Police sources have made photo media and videos available to our editorial office which demonstrate the trafficking of illegal drugs and persons, allegedly organised by the MEK organisation, to which the Albanian state has given refuge.
But so far Lapsi.al had not made this information public pending official confirmation. According to our source in the police: ‘Since January 2020, over 100 criminal cases have been filed against MEK members.
Eight of these cases relate to drug trafficking, directly related to ‘Ndrangheta in Italy. There are also 14 cases relating to human trafficking with Greece, he said, adding that the customs and police officers prosecuted for involvement in connection with this, also serves as evidence for this.
In the news made public by Report TV, there is also a letter, through which Albanian police have notified the US Embassy of the criminal activities of members of the MEK protected by it.
While the Lapsi.al source claims that foreign diplomats have directly intervened to close the cases against them.
‘This is a scandal that everyone is silent about. We have also notified the opposition parties and they dare not speak as a result of diplomatic pressure. Even the prosecution does not dare take these cases to the end,’ he said.
The question that arises is, is this also one of the reasons that the international community demanded justice reform? Are they controlling judges and prosecutors to keep quiet about the crimes they committed on our territory, by the militant organisation they support, but which must be self-financed through illegal trafficking and smuggling?
These questions need an answer after an in-depth investigation, because everyone can agree that Albania is a host country for refugees, but hardly anyone can accept that it is turned into a laboratory for criminal experiments.

Gjergji Thanasi Olsi Jazexhi Ask For Protection Against Mujahedin Terrorists In Albania
From Torturer to Petty Thief – MEK Terrorists Mohammad Sadat Darbandi
Gjergji Thanasi, Facebook page, February 17 2022:… Iranian terrorist Mohammad Sadat Darbandi was the head of the MEK prison in Camp Ashraf in the Diyala Governorate in Iraq. In collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s Mukhabarat (military intelligence) operatives, he tortured dozens of members of the MEK organization, who were theoretically his comrades-in-arms against the Iranian government.

By Gjergji Thanasi
Albanian police have arrested former Iranian terrorist Mohammad Sadat Darbandi, nicknamed “Kak Adel” (in Kurdish language Brother Adel). He, along with some Albanian thieves, had terrorized small businesses in the Municipality of Kamez, breaking into some of them to steal.
It is interesting that this Iranian thief has committed monstrous crimes not only against his compatriots in Iran, but also against his comrades in the MEK organization, currently known as the Rajavi Cult. He was the head of the MEK prison in Camp Ashraf in the Diyala Governorate in Iraq. In collaboration with Saddam Hussein’s Mukhabarat (military intelligence) operatives, he tortured dozens of members of the MEK organization, who were theoretically his comrades-in-arms against the Iranian government! This stinking thief, in addition to Iranian blood, has painted his hands with Iraqi Kurdish blood and other Iraqi blood, those who are part of Iraqi social groups called “abd” and “grook”!
Interestingly, the Israeli adviser and the American adviser to SAVAK, had in the seventies in the last century, among other things, marked in his personal file (as he was imprisoned along with the former terrorist leader Massoud Rajavi) his tendency to steal whatever he could.
Already the Albanian Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed my alarm about such garbage, with the blood of his comrades and compatriots on his hands! These people on the ropes are a real and present threat to the security, honour, life and wealth of Albanians.
I hope that the director Gledis Nano will be mature and order his subordinates to take urgent measures against such scum, that were imposed on us in Manze!

Iran Interlink, February 04 2022:… Gjergji Thanasi wrote about the trafficking activities of MEK being revealed in Greece which are a repeat of the drug and human trafficking which led to the arrest of two high ranking members in Albania. Thanasi wrote that Greek police and journalists have raised concerns about the long term activities of Mehdi Mazloomi and Bahman Rahimi, both MEK members, in Greece. The fear is that MEK is causing problems in the EU and in NATO countries. Thanasi suggests that the US embassy should help Albania to end the Rajavi cult. And Massoud Khodabandeh with Iranic TV

ASILA: Things Changing for The Better – Iran Interlink Weekly Digest – Feb 04, 2022
+ Massoud Khodabandeh with Iranic
++ Massoud Khodabandeh was interviewed by Iranic TV. Khodabandeh covered a variety of subjects starting with the source of MEK money – Saddam Hussein, Saudi gold and money laundering. He said the MEK are still involved in money laundering, but now, instead of being alongside military/terrorist activities, they are now being paid for click farm propaganda activity and intelligence work for anyone, including paid work for Zionists against Europeans. Khodabandeh talked about the recent renewed interest in the case of child soldiers, rapes and sexual abuse and women in the MEK. He talked about the assassination of general Soleimani and how this put an end to the west’s hopes for regime change. He concluded by talking about the MEK’s situation in Albania where they act with impunity – as above the law as they were under Saddam Hussein – with the backing of Israel in particular. Khodabandeh stressed that the Albanian authorities are not happy with this situation at all.
++ Exit News in Albania, which previously reported the arrest of two high ranking MEK personnel on charges of drug and human trafficking, is continuing to report on the crackdown on criminal activity in Albania. This time involving unauthorised cryptocurrency labs, fraud and hiding income. Commentators ask in Farsi why the authorities turn a blind eye to the MEK’s criminal behaviour. Why the two arrested MEK officials are not being prosecuted and why the authorities refuse to investigate well-evidenced allegations of modern slavery and human rights abuses in Camp Ashraf 3.
++ The MEK are placing fundraising ads on their TV channel. This is in spite of the fact that everyone knows the MEK is paid for by the anti-Iran coalition (US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and UK). As several commentors pointed out, the MEK’s main job is money laundry for the purposes of propaganda and dissemination of false and misleading information.
++ Maryam Rajavi was delighted to pose with some non-Iranian former politicians and personalities presumably in a bid to win over the hearts and minds of Iranians. It was deliberately unclear whether these photo ops were made Albania or France, though Rajavi is trying hard to pretend she is living in France. Responses pointed out that the Rajavi Cult is more and more irrelevant to Iran and that observers expect the group to morph into the Cult of Qajar in Paris headed by Maryam’s daughter and her niece (her brother’s daughter) who are both French citizens by birth.
++ Hackers managed to hack an Iranian TV channel for a few seconds last week, placing photos (over 30-year-old) of Massoud and Maryam Rajavi on screen. This prompted a hashtag storm with # down with MEK in Farsi from everywhere. Social media found the stunt ridiculous. Nobody cares about MEK and those who did simply laughed at how desperate MEK is to prove it actually exists at all.
In English
++ Gjergji Thanasi wrote about the trafficking activities of MEK being revealed in Greece which are a repeat of the drug and human trafficking which led to the arrest of two high ranking members in Albania. Thanasi wrote that Greek police and journalists have raised concerns about the long term activities of Mehdi Mazloomi and Bahman Rahimi, both MEK members, in Greece. The fear is that MEK is causing problems in the EU and in NATO countries. Thanasi suggests that the US embassy should help Albania to end the Rajavi cult.
++ In a joint broadcast between ASILA in Albania and Nejat Society in Iran, Albanian journalist Gjergji Thanasi told families of the entrapped MEK members that things are changing for the better. According to the Albanians there is now an alternative for the inmates, to have a normal life in Tirana; Thanasi stressed that new legislation allows them to find a job. He said everyone should work together to help the MEK members as the alternative could be that they die of COVID 19 due to negligence.
++ Nejat Society published the story of Mahvash Jahanbanian whose husband Ali Ebrahimi was taken as a PoW during the Iran-Iraq while serving as an officer in the Iranian army. In spite of being registered with the ICRC, Ebrahimi’s letters stopped in 1989 and his wife had no news of him until an anonymous note revealed he was with the MEK. After the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 Jahanbanian, with other families, visited Camp Ashraf and Camp Liberty four times to find her husband. They had rocks thrown at them. Later, former MEK members who knew him told her that he refused to comply with MEK demands that he denounce his wife as an agent of Iranian Intelligence and was punished for this. Jahanbanian is continuing her efforts to contact her husband and called on the Albanian authorities to help. Meanwhile, she sent a direct message to him on her video with Mardom TV: “Ali! I still love you and respect you the same as I did the day you left. We will warmly welcome you whenever you come back home.”
