"Organized crime is now emerging"/ Klodiana Lala: In Elbasan,

Journalist Klodiana Lala

Journalist Klodiana Lala commented on MCN TV on the arrest of a 38-year-old citizen in Lushnja who was reported by a citizen for taking his ID and promising him 500 euros to vote for the DP.

Lala said that the citizen should receive punishment, but this is not an electoral crime, because candidates are distributing millions to buy votes and that consolidated structures have been created to steal votes.

The journalist said that organized crime is now emerging, emphasizing that electoral headquarters are being beaten up in Elbasan for the votes of a girl without contributions.

"There is a citizen who went to the police and said that Marin Leka took my ID and promised him 500 euros to vote for the DP. The police found the ID in Leka's apartment and arrested him.

Electoral crime is very big and should be the focus of the prosecution. The use of the campaign, the millions of euros invested in the campaign, the millions invested in meetings with the diaspora by the majority and the opposition, the influence of organized crime in the electoral system. The typical case is when the administration is put under pressure with legalizations, with jobs. These are the millions that candidates for deputies spend to buy their votes. They should not catch the citizen. Let him serve the sentence, but there are organized structures that buy votes, through pressure, promises, and the distribution of money. This is not the character.

Electoral crime must be punished, but the two typical cases are in the two files 339 and 184 that were closed. Justice failed in these cases. The majority had created a solid and well-organized structure to steal votes.

Organized crime is now emerging in Albania. In Elbasan, the electoral headquarters of the majority are being beaten for the votes of a girl without contributions and Mr. Berisha also denounced it. Elbasan, Fier, Durres, Shkodra, Vlora, Tirana are the main districts during the campaign where organized crime is present during the campaign "- said Lala./ CNA
