Florin Krasniqi
Florin Krasniqi (born June 26, 1964)〔''U.S. Public Records Index'' Vol 2 (Provo, UT: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.), 2010〕 is a Kosovar-Albanian-born American businessman, political activist, former arms smuggler, and current deputy parliamentarian for the Vetëvendosje! political party in the Kosovo Assembly, to which he was elected following the 2010 elections.
==Background==
Krasniqi was born in Kosovo, when it was part of the former Yugoslavia. He was a mathematics high-school teacher in Mali Vranovac (now Kosovo) when he fled to the United States, sneaking into the country across the border from Mexico in the trunk of a white Cadillac on Christmas Eve, 1988, aged 24. He began as a roofer and later founded Triangle General Contractors, a roofing company in Brooklyn, New York.
In 1998-99, he raised $30 million from the Albanian community in the United States for the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and smuggled hundreds of high-powered American sniper rifles to Kosovo for guerrillas, which were distributed by his extended family clan in the region. A cousin, Xhevdet, and a nephew, Adrian, were among the founding members of the KLA and helped smuggle weapons into the region. An engineering student in Pristina in 1996, Adrian purportedly lost faith in Kosovo's government and joined a cell of the KLA, heading up the rebels' weapons-smuggling operation. He was reportedly the first guerrilla to die in a KLA uniform.〔(Excerpt from ''Be Not Afraid'' ), booknoise.net; accessed April 13, 2014.〕
