Arrested journalist, Elio Laze

Laze was bought by Veliaj, however, it did not serve him either, as this is not the first time Laze has been arrested.

The pseudo-journalist who bought Veliaj was caught with drugs and weapons in 2022. Instead of serving Veliaj, the latter had to bail him out of prison.

Then, with strong political intervention, he was taken to the hospital and never served a single day in prison.
