Gambling: A Sure Bet? Albania
Is banning gambling the best way to tackle the problems it causes in Albania, or does it just send the industry underground?
Albania was plagued by problems caused by gambling; high levels of debt, divorce and suicide triggered the government to ban it. But it did not have the desired effect. Instead the ban sent the industry underground and into the hands of organised criminal gangs. Dr Heather Wardle sets Fatjona Mejdini, a journalist who writes about Albania鈥檚 development, the task of investigating the state of gambling in her country and asks whether banning betting can solve the problems caused by it.
