Don't think so. At least not that I'm aware of. Moroccan criminals tend to operate from where there's a large diaspora community and they're largely from that diaspora community. Albanian criminals on the other hand are more like globetrotters and are based in Albania, Kosovo or Macedonia.

Most Albanians that are born here are very law-abiding citizens that do well at school. They're also very entrepreneurial. An Albanian friend of mine has a solid office job but also started a taxi company with his brother; they work their asses off legitimately and it pays off.
Albanian criminals operating here mostly travel throughout Europe and their operations don't have a lot of local longevity. They're involved in a few drug, prostitution or extortion rackets for some time and then they either get busted or they carry on to the next destination when law enforcement is closing in on them.

Moroccan criminals on the other hand are most born in Belgium or the Netherlands in their local community and largely stick to operating in their city of birth. They're not so much "Moroccan criminals" as they are "Belgian or Dutch criminals with Moroccan roots". It's the same with the Algerians in France.

And in Antwerp it's not exactly true that the drug trafficking is a solely "Moroccan" affair. Out of the 5 large family-based drug trafficking organization that were identified a few years ago in Antwerp about 3 were Moroccan, another family was Algerian and another family were Assyrians from Turkey.
