"Crime associated with power"/ Hoxha: The state has given Shkodra as a

Journalist Artan Hoxha, in a television appearance, analyzed the attack with two victims and two injured that shocked Shkodra yesterday morning.

Hoxha said that we are dealing with genuine organizations, as well as criminal structures, that since the '90s have had a larger budget than the Ministry of Interior.

For journalist Hoxha, yesterday's event was also a clash between groups, while regarding the solution of the situation, Hoxha said it is too late because crime in this city is related to power. For the journalist, crime in Shkodra appoints deputies and that the city resembles Palermo of the '80s. Hoxha declared that the state has failed and has given Shkodra a concession.

"Today we have genuine organizations. They have been operating since the early 1990s. We are dealing with criminal structures that have a larger budget than the Ministry of Interior. Above all, we have structures that take over the social structure of an event. As Shkodra was treated, some have fled either to Tirana or abroad. In this event we have something special because the perpetrator was caught very quickly.

This was the next incident of clashes between groups. The conflicts in Shkodra have not yet been resolved. We are late in fighting crime in Shkodra, because they have connections to the government. Every time we hear stories about usury, they give money with guilt, because they give it to people who not only take money, but also businesses and property. The state has given Shkodra with a concession. Many events in Shkodra have no perpetrators. Bardhok Pllana was killed and there is no perpetrator, Mir Koçiu was killed and there are no people in custody. There is a thick rope of crime in Shkodra.

I told the prime minister to his face that Shkodra today does not have a problem with street crime, but with organized crime. It is happening there that there are victims and injured who are completely innocent. A national operator is needed to shed light on the events in Shkodra. If he allows criminals to appoint deputies, ministers, etc., it shows that they have connections with the government, while also receiving public funds, because they have agreements with the government. Shkodra resembles the Palermo of the 80s. Our structures have failed", said Hoxha./ CNA
