Italian media have uncovered parts of the transcripts from the wiretaps of the drug trafficking gang in Rome, that led to the arrest of Albanian signer Elsa Lila.<\/p>\n

Lila allegedly tells other gang members to created connections with the government in order to dodge police checks, even sharing a personal story.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody from the state comes to control me, because they know me, I have excellent relations. They gave me a fine once, but then they told me not to pay it because they won\u2019t check it. Because, here, just like in Albania, you need a connection, as you\u2019ll find a way out regardless of who is in government. You need to find a way as they take money here, too\u201d, reportedly said the Albanian singer.<\/p>\n

The gang used encrypted phones to avoid being surveilled.<\/p>\n

In some of the inserts of the transcript published by Italian daily paper Corriere Della Sera<\/a><\/strong>, the gang reportedly claimed that if they were to ever get caught, Rome would need a new jail, hinting at the large size of the criminal group.<\/p>\n

Elsa Lila was arrested on Wednesday in Italy, allegedly for her ties in the drug-trafficking group.<\/p>\n

So far, there is no evidence that could definitely pin her to the case.<\/p>\n

However, the court has argued that she is \u2018directly implicated\u2019 and called her \u2018a trusted member of the drug lord\u2019.<\/p>\n
