The media reported yesterday that the prisoner in the Durrës cells, Erion Veliaj, with 13 serious criminal charges, is expected to undergo a health check-up at the private "Salus" hospital tomorrow, May 6th.

According to a report by "Ora News", the news was confirmed by the General Directorate of Prisons, as well as the "Salus" hospital itself, where the doctor with the surname Zingaretti will be the doctor who will check Erion Veliaj's heart. Whether it is a routine check or a health problem remains to be seen.

Scandal to get Veliaj out of prison/ The "Redi Molla" scheme is being used

The question that immediately arises is: Will this type of control and this type of visit serve to get Erion Veliaj out of prison? Just as happened in the case of Redi Molla, the famous director of the "5D" file of Mayor Erion Veliaj.

Redi Molla, arrested for the "5D" file, is on trial and was released from his cell with a more relaxed security measure because he was found to be suffering from a heart condition. The question is: will the same scheme be used? In fact, another question arises: Will Dr. Zingaretti accept being used for the same scheme or will he be a true professional? In the case of Redi Molla, he was said to be sick and was released.

Doctor Costantino Zingaretti

In the case of Erion Veliaj, a check-up is expected to be done in a private hospital by a foreign doctor, not at the QSUT, not by excellent Albanian cardiologists, but a private hospital with foreign cardiologists has been chosen, to do a heart check-up or a coronary, which in the end has two answers: either Erion Veliaj enjoys perfect health and remains in the cell, or he has heart problems, real or not, we cannot say, and then this doctor's report will be used to get Erion Veliaj out of prison.

In fact, it all depends on the doctor, will he be professional and genuine or will he serve like the Italian doctors we have seen in movies issuing reports to get mafia members out of prison? Let's hope that we are not faced with such a case, but we are dealing with a professional doctor who does not manipulate patient records and does not help the accused get out of prison./CNA
