Loku decided he wanted to work on a UK cannabis farm after seeing the riches enjoyed by “the London guys” of Albania’s capital Tirana.<\/p>\n
The men, freshly returned from cultivating a bounty of marijuana sold to Brits, are always flaunting their wealth and in Loku\u2019s modest neighbourhood it strikes a chord.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see many people who come back from England having earned between \u00a3200,000 and \u00a3500,000,\u201d the 25-year-old told the Daily Express.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey buy a house, start a new business and show off in the street, they always have the most beautiful ladies. You need to understand that when I see that it goes directly into my heart. I want to do the same thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know many people here in Albania who get the money from London working that kind of job and they start a new business here. It’s something that\u2019s common.\u201d<\/p>\n
Loku explained that in a country where the annual salary is just \u00a34,200 per year seeing a fellow twenty-something driving a brand new Mercedes after just a couple of months in the UK makes the work alluring regardless of risk or illegality.<\/p>\n
Endemic corruption means some of the best-educated people Loku knows earn shamefully low salaries in Albania.<\/p>\n

We don’t want to work by levels, having a process that slowly evolves, we want to change our life drastically in six months to a year. This is our mentality,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Another appealing aspect of becoming a “London guy” for Loku is that opportunities are readily available.<\/p>\n \u201cI had a friend in England who owns some houses to produce drugs and he said to me I’m a manager and I invite you to come and work for me, I will have everything ready,\u201d he continued. \u201cI started to think about that because I needed money.<\/p>\n \u201cHe explained to me the process is going to last two or maybe three months in total. I need to work with the cannabis plants every day. Once they are cultivated I will be paid and we will restart again, moving from place to place.<\/p>\n \u201cI get 20% of the value of the crop. Everything depends on how we work. If we do an intensive job, every day I\u2019ll earn more.\u201d<\/p>\n Loku explained he would not be allowed to leave the property housing the cannabis farm until the drug was harvested.<\/p>\n Food would be brought to him, but he would be expected to entertain himself through this solitary confinement and be a good neighbour to the homes around him.<\/p>\n He claimed those in control had told him to surrender immediately should the drug house be robbed and not to worry about potential intruders because in the UK they \u201cdid not use weapons\u201d.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n
