"Golden Bullet" in the GJKKO/ Krenar Guçe testifies: He

This Thursday, the next hearing for the well-known "Golden Bullet" case took place at the Special Court.

Kreshnik Guçe, who is the Deputy Director for Crimes at the Elbasan Police, was also present as a witness during the hearing.

Guçe indicated that he remembers some of the defendants in the file, as he was in the Judicial Police for various procedural actions in which he was involved.

Further, Guçe also shared detailed details regarding his meetings with well-known names in the criminal world.

Krenar Guçe: I was a OPGJ who carried out various procedural actions. As far as I remember, I referred him to the prosecutor's office. I put what I did in the minutes and procedural acts. I remember asking the family members, but you have them on the form, I don't remember their specific names. It's been a long time, I don't remember their names. I made a report of the inspection of the cameras in Rinas on an investigative initiative. The evidence was as a result of the natural course of the investigation. We were an investigative group, the leaders asked me to go to Rinas to carry out an investigative action, Arian Muça, Leonard Palushi and Alban Çela. They gave me orientation, you will go and inspect the cameras for the arrival of a person from abroad in Albania, Hajdar Bako. It turned out that he came to Rinas in the morning, took a room in a hotel until the afternoon, a person came who accompanied him to Rinas to the airport. The meeting took place in Rinas. The person has been identified. Based on an investigative thread and operational information, suspicions are raised and verifications are made. To go to Hajdar Bako, there was operational information.

I don't remember specifically, my superiors took me to the office and told me and asked for action. Make no mistake, Palushi carried out investigative actions, but I don't remember what. I met with every family member who had an interest in the investigation, I don't remember, it's been about 7 years. Erion Alibej is a well-known name because of the investigations, I met him because of the investigations. I met him several times, when he appeared at the DVP and at his apartment when we carried out investigative actions. He never paid me, absolutely no gift. Dumani turned out to be the perpetrator in the murder of Bujar Çela. I dealt with the incident personally. I never had an encrypted phone. I know Talo Çela because of the investigations I carried out, I never met him.

I personally have not searched Talo Çela's apartment. I have heard of Fatos Gosa, I have not met him, I have not been to his apartment. I have made requests to obtain records, but I do not remember specifically for whom. I have heard of Dashnor Dumani, as far as I remember he was taken once as a person questioned about this murder. I do not remember how long after the event. The entire State Police has searched for Talo Çela, we are working on plans of measures, organization, not personally. We have not had a specific perpetrator for this event. I have met with Erion Alibej, as far as I remember with other colleagues, but I may have been alone in the investigation. I have been to his apartment with colleagues from the Elbasan Police, if I am not mistaken, Leonard Palushi, I do not remember Alban Çela, nor Arian Muça.

The first meeting with Erion Alibej, make no mistake, was at the Directorate. As far as I know, there was another case that Alibej was wanted on, it was before the incident. I don't remember if I knew he was wanted at the moment I met him. In 2022, as far as I remember, I was called to SPAK and I gave a statement. Bako was staying at the "Jurgen" Hotel in Rinas. When I went, I checked the cameras. With the other citizen, as far as I remember, he picked him up in his vehicle, took him to the airport, they parked the vehicle and went inside the airport. He was a guy about 35 years old, dark-skinned, a bit stocky.

We identified the vehicle, it turned out that the person was the one I noted in the minutes that he met. The person I identified was Armis Stafa. The investigation has a logical flow, when the license plate is verified, the system is opened, who owns it, then specific examinations are carried out. I have done these actions and we have drawn investigative conclusions. I do not remember the specific actions. I do not remember the actions for this meeting and why it happened specifically. Look at the investigative actions in the file, the minutes, how I did the actions alone, but as an investigative group. /CNA
