AN ALBANIAN drug dealer who ran a £250,000 cannabis farm across two remote cottages has been jailed for two years.
Renato Kaloti - who is banned from Switzerland for heroin trafficking will be deported back to his homeland after arriving in the UK illegally.
The case comes after the Record last week revealed fears Albanian gangsters are muscling in on Scotland's cannabis farming underworld.
Sheriff Alistair Carmichael told Kaloti: "As far as I can tell, you have offered nothing positive for Scotland." Dundee Sheriff Court was told Kaloti gave €13,000 to an Albanian drug gang to smuggle him into the UK and oversee a large-scale cannabis cultivation.
The court heard he borrowed the money from his mum and expected to be able to pay it back from his share of the profits from the profits from the 309-plant cannabis FF farm in Angus.
Prosecutor Joanne Ritchie told the court the illicit cultivation was discovered by a Sepa official who was investigating power use irregularities at the adjacent cottages.
