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

The Gang of Soul does particularly well because it gloms onto something called the Vlora Salvation Committee. voice-verified

And if any sort of like group in the 90s is calling themselves something salvation, voice-verified

It ain't good. voice-verified

Now, you've got to forgive me at this point because I'm getting a lot of in this information from like the internet equivalent of Albanian tattered library books. voice-verified

But as far as I can see, the Vlora Salvation Committee is a communist paramilitary group voice-verified

But hurt that their big daddy Hogger is A dead and B well out of fashion. voice-verified

So in the wake of the nineteen ninety seven Pyramid Schemes, they form an anti government cadre and later that year push out five thousand state troops delivered to Vlora by President Barisha. voice-verified

Says one member quote, The revolt swept away all the state institutions, and for six months Vlora was Berisha's Stalingrad. voice-verified

So weird how this tiny city has gone from totalitarian leftist dictatorship to laissez-faire free-for-all to chaos and back to communist paramilitaries in the space of like half a decade. voice-verified

The Salvation Committee erects barricades all over Vlora and claims to be working in the interest of its people, but it also works very closely with organized crime, particularly the gang. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Zani Soshi himself claims to be a socialist and against Berisha. voice-verified

And at one point he goes on Albanian TV and says, quote, voice-verified

Not only does Berisha deserve to die, but all his supporters deserve to die in shame. voice-verified

There is no state, only a band of gangsters. voice-verified

I'm also a gangster warring against the gangster Berisha, but I'm the stronger one because I'm with the people. voice-verified

It seems that Sochi's boys are at the top outfit in Flora by nineteen ninety nine, when the madness of the pyramid schemes has died down. voice-verified

But by this point, Albania's organized criminal underworld has cemented in place, and it is able to spread its wings across Europe and the United States by attaching itself to expact communities that have fled world. voice-verified

Everything that's happened in the homeland since the turn of the century. voice-verified

Albania, by the way, has one of, if not the biggest diaspora of any nation on earth per capita. voice-verified
