Murder of Martin Cani/ Tirana Prosecution requests 25 years in prison for the

The Tirana Prosecution Office has filed a complaint against the minor MP, who is accused of the murder of Martin Can. Through the complaint, the prosecution has requested a sentence of 25 years in prison for the criminal offense of murder in qualifying circumstances against two or more persons.

It is learned that prosecutor Alma Felaj has said that she leaves the final sentence to the court's assessment, reminding them of the criminal code for minors, namely Article 97.

This article stipulates that the sentence under these conditions does not exceed 12 years, which means that if the court takes these circumstances into account, the perpetrator of the murder of Martin Can and the injury of Luis Meçja can be sentenced to less than half of the initial sentence, i.e. 12 years. In the next session, the defense's conclusions will be held, as well as the position of the injured parties.

Since November 2024, the 14-year-old perpetrator has been held in the juvenile institution in Kavaja.

The serious incident occurred near the "Fan Noli" school in Tirana on November 18, 2024, where as a result of the fight between minors, the suspected perpetrator himself was injured./CNA
