AN Albanian man gunned down in broad daylight at a Costa Blanca padel club has been linked to a massive international crime syndicate involving the Italian mafia and Chinese triads.
The 39-year-old was assassinated by a hitman on an electric scooter at Playa Flamenca Sport Club in the area of Orihuela Costa on Tuesday.
He was shot while at the Prime Padel Club, a newly opened outdoor padel centre situated inside the larger Playa Flamenca Sport Club complex on Calle Nicolas de Bussi.

Now, respected organised crime expert Niporwifi has claimed the victim was a key figure in the Albanian mafia with deep ties to the Sacra Corona Unita and the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta.
Specifically, the murdered man is said to have worked closely with the ‘Ndrangheta’s Fiare-Razionale-Gasparre clan.
According to the expert, the Italian clan operates a major money laundering network in Madrid in collaboration with Chinese Triads.
