Former Interior Minister Saimir Tahiri gave an interview to the Italian journalist Nello Trocchia, at the time he was facing justice.
In a documentary made about Albanian traffickers and their connections with politics, which will be broadcast today, Tahiri rejected the accusations of corruption.
He also denied links to drug trafficking, arguing that he was the one who asked the Guardia di Finanza to double the crossings to monitor the territory;
“Po sikur të isha i korruptuar unë nuk do të vija në Itali për të kërkuar nga Guardia di Finanza të dyfishojë mbikalimet për të monitoruar territorin. I kërkova të gjitha vendeve europiane të na ndihmojnë të luftojmë trafikun e drogës”, deklaron në dokumentar Tahiri.
Sipas Tahirit, droga nuk është histori kriminelësh por histori varfërie.
“Më vunë bombat dhe një gjë e tillë nuk ka ndodhur kurrë në Shqipëri. Marijuana nuk është histori kriminelësh, por varfërie”, shprehet më tej Tahiri.
Ndër të tjera në dokumentar, Tahiri tregon për pagat që trafikantët e drogës u garantojnë kultivuesve.
Bëhet fjalë për shifra të tilla si 5 mijë euro në vit vetëm për të rritur marijuanën në fushat e shndërruara në plantacione.
Në këtë mënyrë, trafikantët arritën të rrisin prodhimin dhe të bëhen në këtë sektor ndër eksportuesit e parë në arenën kriminale ndërkombëtare.
In the documentary, one of the people involved in drug trafficking was also interviewed.
"If you do a normal job working hard you can earn up to 300 euros a month, but being a criminal you can earn the same amount in a minute. This is why many young people are attracted to this life, always money and power", says a former drug trafficker. /CNA.al
