Albanian crime gangs in Britain have become so powerful that drugs bosses are openly mocking our soft-touch justice and advertising for cocaine dealers on social media, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Speaking to undercover Daily Mail reporters, 25-year-old Kosovan-Albanian dealer Erik told us he built a network of middle-class cocaine addicts by working in Oxford Street and Soho's fancy bars.

Smiling and laughing, the drug dealer said he was only recently out of jail for being caught with six bags of cocaine on him.

But despite his brush with the law, he was keen to get back to making money on Britain's streets.

And, far from getting into the illicit drugs industry through shady underworld figures, Erik had simply posted his phone number on the Facebook group 'Albanian Community in the UK', which our investigation can reveal is one of several social media jobs boards commonly used to advertise drug-dealing gigs.
