Tirana was shocked yesterday with the murder of 50-year-old Alfred Dedja, a crime allegedly committed by Julian Gjoshin, Altin Hajri's brother-in-law.

It was reported in the media that the 26-year-old was also related to the disappearance of Jan Prenga, but this allusion was rejected by the Special Prosecutor's Office.

Through a press release, SPAK states that Dedja was not a witness and has no connection with the 2020 event.

According to SPAK, his name does not appear to have been included in the list of employees or the payroll of the "Golden" complex of Altin Hajri, at the time of the crime.

"The Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime rejects the false statements that link AD, the victim of the crime committed last night in Ndroq with an event that dates back to 2020, which is being investigated by it.

Based on the investigations carried out by SPAK up to this stage, in the framework of criminal proceedings no. 60 of 2020, the person executed yesterday evening, AD does not appear to be a witness or to have anything to do with the hostage-taking, execution and hiding of the body of victim Jan Prenga, an event that occurred in January 2020. His name does not appear to have been included in the list of employees or the payroll of the "Golden" complex, in Shijak, owned by Altin Hajri, at the time of the crime.

The defendant Altin Hajri, owner of the "Golden" complex, is accused of being a participant in the structured criminal group that carried out the kidnapping of the citizen Jan Prenga. He is under "prison arrest" in absentia and the case against him is being tried in the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime.

On trial are Dritan Rexhepi and Gentjan Funiqi, who ordered his kidnapping; Martin Bleta and Korado Kështenja who organized the hostage taking while Artan Doçaj, Aldo Majnishta and Geraldo Martini, who sent the victim after the kidnapping, to the "Golden" complex.

The Special Prosecutor's Office against Corruption and Organized Crime has addressed several official requests to the police structures, as the body responsible for the execution of the security measure against the citizen, Altin Hajri", says the response of SPAK./ CNA
