Evidence of Hashim Thaci's involvement in human organ trafficking could be his foreign bank accounts, writes a daily. Belgrade's Blic newspaper says that there are suspicions that the money earned by the KLA in 1999, when they kidnapped Serb and other civilians in Kosovo and had their organs sold in the black market, ended up in several banks located in European counties. "Bank accounts will incriminate Thaci" Those include Switzerland, Albania, Germany, "but also some others", according to the report. The daily says that the accounts have been tracked down both by the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution, and America's FBI. The latter did so when they investigated finances of extreme Islamic groups in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. According to this, the bank accounts were opened in personal names, but also often on behalf of fake humanitarian organizations that served as fronts for criminal activities. Meanwhile, Serbia's intelligence agency BIA says that Thaci's Drenica Group of the KLA was initially involved in arms running and car theft, as well as cigarette and fuel smuggling, but that the Thaci family established ties with Albanian, Macedonian, Bulgarian and Czech mafias. According to CoE's Marty, Thaci took most of the money that was collected for the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), and BIA says that between 1996 and 1999, 900 million German marks arrived in Kosovo for this purpose. America's DEA agency estimates that Albanian mafia is the second strongest criminal organization in the world, while BIA believes that as much as 90 percent of all heroin that arrives in Europe goes through Kosovo - according to the Blic article.
