Albanians are much more widespread and bigger than people think or give them credit for,There are many many more that make Rudaj look like a saint.They fly way under the radar and are extremely secretive ! They are nowhere near the Italians in unions etc but today they are much more powerful than 15 or 20 plus years ago,They have made inroads into some of the construction and other unions,One union they have locked down is 32 B/J ,You can't get in unless you are Albanian or are very close to one,They control many of the buildings in the boroughs and NJ,Superintendents,Cleaners,Maintenance,Custodians/Operating engineers.They also now own they're own construction companies Residential/commercial and bid on government,city,state projects.They are definitely less likely to rat on one another,Testify,Give up information due to the level of violence they dish out ! They know that most will not hesitate to commit acts of violence and murder against a persons extended family here in the US and overseas.The Italians hate them because they know if they have any type of beefs with them they would have to kill them which they won't do because the Italians are so far removed from violence ! Situations like the one that occurred years back in that gas station with the Gambinos and the luccheses getting beat downs and they're operations taken happen much more than is know to the general public !
