The Tirana Prosecution Office has completed its investigations and sent to trial four people accused of kidnapping and holding a person hostage with the aim of obtaining property. Among those sent to trial is the girl who trapped the kidnapped person.
The individuals in question forcibly took citizen EV into a car and took him to an old apartment, where they demanded the sum of 2 million lek, claiming that he had harassed the cohabitant of one of the kidnappers.
Three of the suspects then called the kidnapped person's wife, who sent them the money. The four men threatened citizen EA, saying that if the payment was not made, they would send photos of him and citizen NB, his wife, to destroy his family and then kill him.

After taking him to an old apartment, they tied his hands and demanded the sum of 2 million lekë, claiming that citizen E. A had harassed citizen NB (the cohabitant of citizen SS). The three suspects then communicated by phone with the wife of the injured party/victim, citizen MA, who sent the suspects the sum of money.
