kartelitët
Kartelitët refers to a term used in some contexts, particularly in Albanian, to describe a group or a cartel. It generally denotes a clandestine organization or association formed for illegal or unethical purposes, often involving economic manipulation or criminal activities. The term can also be used more broadly to describe a monopoly or a tight-knit group exercising significant control over a particular market or sector. The primary characteristic associated with kartelitët is the intention to restrict competition and gain undue influence or profit through collusive or illicit means. These entities can operate in various spheres, including business, politics, or organized crime, and their activities are typically aimed at circumventing established laws and regulations. The secrecy surrounding their operations is a defining feature, as their success often depends on remaining undetected by authorities and the public. The concept of kartelitët highlights concerns about unchecked power and the potential for abuse when groups operate outside of transparent and competitive frameworks.
