The Underworld Podcast · How an Albanian Mobster Derailed MAGA Island · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

If you ever want to understand how Albania became a criminal powerhouse, just press that like go back button, replay that sentence over and over. voice-verified

That is it. voice-verified

Given that blood fuse have been particularly prevalent in the north of Albania, perhaps Little Vlora down the south has been flooded with the families of those caught planning them. voice-verified

Whether that's true or just something I thought up on the spot, by the end of communism, Vlora's population has been overtaken by cities subjected to Enver Hodges' Cold War manufacturing renaissance. voice-verified

Duris, Shkodra, Elbasan, I mean these are beautiful places too. voice-verified

Flora is basically still the same popular seaside resort it'd been back in the Ottoman years, in fact as far back as ancient Greece. voice-verified

But it's not just deck chairs and two for one Jaeger bombs. voice-verified

Here is Mitch Provero. voice-verified

out on time? voice-verified

I mean that's what people care about, right? voice-verified

Yeah, no, that's voice-verified

Yeah, no, voice-verified

Poptoff is a pretty good way to describe a city whose gang scene goes berserk in the late nineties. voice-verified

Vlora is home to literally dozens of outfits, which if you look them up on Wikipedia, almost all of their members are quoted as being deceased. voice-verified

One of the groups is called The Gang of Pussy, which I think was the name of your high school rap band, wasn't it? voice-verified

Please say that exists. voice-verified

Uh another one, another major gang, is the gang of Soul or Sole, I'm not really sure, led by a dashing young go-getter named Murtaza or Zani Soshi. voice-verified

By nineteen ninety seven, when Albania really does go through the looking glass, Sochi is actually behind bars in neighbouring Greece. voice-verified

But as we learned in our recent ish episode about bank robber Vasilis Paleocostas, Greek prisons are made out of cardboard and guarded by small children with sticks in their hands instead of guns. voice-verified

So she then escapes in february nineteen ninety seven, heads back to Vlora, and builds a gang of sixteen prisoners. voice-verified
