The disappearance of Ervis Martinaj/Hoxha: When he felt danger approaching, he

Journalist Artan Hoxha spoke tonight about the disappearance of Ervis Martinaj and his father's request to officially declare him missing. Invited to the show "Opinion", Hoxha said that Martinaj was a man who did not come from the world of crime but became a public enemy after, according to him, he opposed the government.

He said that when Ervis Martinaj felt that danger was approaching, he took two villas near the house of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Hoxha expressed his conviction that Martinaj has been eliminated and that his body has disappeared. The journalist said that his death is certain, while adding that the only problem for the authorities is the lack of his body.

"As I remember on September 1, 2022, it was the first broadcast made after the disappearance of Vis Martinaj. I had been to Martinaj's house. The family was doing their own investigations. Mustafa Martini had the businesses and the money before his son got into the business. The problem he has is that for 3 and a half years they have had no contact with his son. The last message was in August 2022 about a lion. And the only version was that he had been kidnapped and killed.

He was a man who evolved the world of crime. Vis Martinaj has three daughters and a son and he himself is an only son, he has three sisters. He did not come from the world of crime but became a public enemy because he became an opponent of the government, of the majority. Edi Rama has never dealt with the name of the world of crime, only with Vis Martinaj. When Martinaj felt the danger that he could disappear, he bought two villas near Prime Minister Rama, so that he would be better protected. He kept his family in one villa.

Ervis Martinaj has been eliminated and his body has disappeared. Today you can hide from the state but not from the enemy. There are elements that convince you that he has disappeared. The problem that the authorities have today is the lack of a body, because for example, Jan Prenga has a body. The most consistent information is that the body is on the ground. With Martinaj, the theory of cutting off his arms was followed. Only the officer remained. Martinaj received so much attention for what he represented. He was a powerful character in gambling.
