Albanians who have family members members living in New York and New Jersey told me that Albanian crews mostly work for the Italian crime families in Northeastern United states. Some of them are even bragging that their relatives are with the Gambinos or Genoveses.They told me that Albanians don't really have any big syndicates in the US, just some small crews. From what Albanians told me Albanian crews in USA are not involved in traditional organized crime rackets. They are heavily involved in drugs and mostly work for the Italian crime families in Northeastern United states. Is this true?

Albanians have worked for the LCN families in New York for years. Often as enforcers. But other Albanians also have their own criminal enterprises, albeit smaller and less organized. Back in the 1990s there were the YACS burglary crews. The Rudaj organization was mainly into gambling. But most seem to be involved in drug trafficking.

Many old Serbian gangsters knew Gotti or members from his crew so i dont doubt that the Albanians currently have similar connections

Boško "The Yugo" Radonjić was aligned with John Gotti. He was leader of the most famous Irish American criminal gang in New York history the Westies.
