General Director of the State Police
The Albanian Tourist Union, taking the opportunity of the recent incident of the rape of the President of the Tourist Union's Branch for Saranda, Mr. Arben Çipa, which has shocked the entire tourism business community, is addressing this public appeal. The incident in question, published across the entire spectrum of Albanian media and which continues to echo in public discussions, constitutes an unprecedented act of rape of a well-known businessman from the city of Saranda by two individuals who have barbarically attacked him with claims that he is exploiting properties that are not theirs, but as usually happens in our country, where no one else is allowed to invest in properties favored by the strongmen of the village.
Our community is shocked and alarmed by these ugly events which unfortunately continue to be repeated as these cases do not receive the punishment deserved by the authorities as happened in the specific case of the decision of the Court of Fact, Saranda which imposed house arrest on one of the arrested perpetrators of the event, who according to media reports the persons in question also have legal precedents in the past. Through this statement, we appeal to the highest law enforcement bodies to react and not to tolerate such cases becoming a reason to curb investments in the tourism sector and damage the good image of Albania as a tourist. With the belief that your reaction will not be simply bureaucratic, but active institutional and rigorous!
