Attacked the shooting group of "Stop"/ Minister Manja defends the

In February 2022, Tirana notary Majlinda Lleshi was filmed violating the crew of the "Stop" show, journalist Genci Angjellari and cameraman Gert Hoxha, who is no longer alive as a result of a tragic motorcycle accident.

Everything happened during the investigation of a complaint by a citizen from Borshi, who claimed forgery of a will by the notary Lleshi.

"You filth, I'll hit you and choke you completely. Even you trash (hits the operator)! I will kill you (to the journalist)", said the notary.

The forces of Commissariat No. 2 went to the place of the incident, but the prosecutor Albert Demirneli called the situation normal and released the aggressor notary public.

Saimir Kodra: I will try to keep calm because the whole situation irritates me beyond measure. I am irritated by the fact that a journalist and a cameraman, Gert Hoxha, separated from this life, was beaten in the line of duty by a notary public. I am filled with hatred and anger that the institutions did not work in this country. Apparently, since Majlinda Lleshi was arrested in flagrante delicto by the police when the journalist was beaten when she was insulted by her mother and father... although she was arrested in flagrante delicto, this prosecutor Albert Demirneli, a classmate or I don't know... How many times I look at the event, and the injustice that exists in this country is just as nerve-wracking. How can you hit a cameraman and reporter and keep working?

On the other hand, the Minister of Justice, Ulsi Manja, set up an inspection group that would decide what measures he would take against the notary Lleshi. Violence is categorized as unforgivable in law and the license of the notary is suspended. If the violence has brought serious consequences, the notary's license is revoked. But Minister Manja, in violation of the law, has applied the administrative fine amounting to 3 million old Lek, inciting and legitimizing the violence of notaries against the media.

Saimir Kodra: I wish that it serves as a cause for the Ministry of Justice, for the police. When a police patrol is called it is to stop the conflict. In this form it is not necessary to call you again. After the police patrol arrived, he was arrested in flagrante delicto because it was very serious behavior. The prosecutor released him, he didn't even hold him for 12 hours because if this Albert had had a cousin or a sibling, he would certainly not have released him and would have taken him to trial, but it happened that they were journalists. In addition to the arrest in flagrante delicto, there was an immediate reaction from the Ministry of Justice, Ulsi Manjës, who set up the investigative group "disciplinary investigation". The biggest surprise because then even there it was shown that there was no friend or relative, or acquaintance or even that Majlinda Lleshi paid... Alfred Pupli and Hyri Rama were the 2 heads of the inspection group who in their writing wrote "serious violation " of Majlinda Lleshi. All this serious violation received a fine of 3 million Lek. So the serious offense.

Union of Journalists: The images published in the investigative show "Stop" are shocking because it is not only verbal violence, but a direct threat to the physical integrity of the reporter and the operator of the show. Behavior and communication are unacceptable. The act itself is a complete, clean and reprehensible incident and in this perspective I think that we, our organization, immediately expect an institutional response from the law enforcement bodies. This is an issue that must be investigated because the whole sequence published in itself literally expresses a subject which in itself has a violation and abuse of duty by this notary. Her physical aggression on the physical integrity of the journalist and cameraman is truly an unusual case.

Majlinda Lleshi appealed the fine in order to protect her license. But the court not only dismissed the notary's appeal, but also found that the Minister of Justice applied the measure in violation of the law, legitimizing the violence.

Meanwhile, Majlinda Lleshi continued her duty as a notary, as if nothing had happened.

Majlinda Lleshi: You will make a power of attorney, yes.

Inflirtated: How does it work? So how much does the power of attorney cost as payment?

Majlinda Lleshi: 20 thousand old Lek.

The leader of the "Stop" show, Saimir Kodra, says that he will follow the case to the end as he adds that one of the reasons is also the trust towards the operator who was attacked by the notary, Gert Hoxha, who is no longer alive.

Saimir Kodra: There have been many people in Tirana who have caught me "please close", "please leave", but I can't how long Gert Hoxha was alive and now even more that he is no longer alive due to an accident that took her life, I have a trust, it's that approach I can't... Only if I leave this life, can she be forgiven for this action she did./tvklan.al
