"My only target was Erogen Vaso after a personal problem with him," Ragip Gila stated.

In this way, the first statement given by citizen Ragip Gila to the police after he was arrested as the suspected perpetrator who killed two citizens Armando Pali and Liridon Kraja and injured two others, Erogen Vaso and waitress Meri Kaceri, has been revealed.

"Erogen Vaso kept threatening me and I had problems with him. He made me feel strong and used words against me. I only had personal problems with Ergogen Vaso and I only wanted to shoot him. So I had personal problems with him ," alleged perpetrator Gila is reported to have said after being questioned by the police.

Meanwhile, it is learned that the arrested person, while attempting to escape the police pursuit, fell from a height under the train tracks into the bed of the Kir River, injuring his leg. At that moment, he was called upon to drop his weapon and surrender, and Gila responded to the police calls by saying "I dropped my weapon, I surrendered, my leg hurts a lot". Immediately afterwards, the officers put him in handcuffs, while the now 30-year-old man gave his first statement, saying that he had targeted Erogen Vason after personal problems with him.

The police have taken this statement with reservations and are investigating whether there are other people behind him who may have ordered him to carry out the murder of 43-year-old Erogen Vaso, who was injured and is in the military hospital in Tirana./ CNA

Gazment Bardhi

Gazment Bardhi used the letterhead of the Albanian Parliament for a letter filed with SPAK, which he distributed as a criminal complaint.

Please note that documents bearing the Assembly's seal can only be used for documents originating from the Assembly of Albania.

Gazment Bardhi's status

In the case of a letter from a parliamentary group, these letters are drafted on paper containing the identification marks of the parliamentary group of the Assembly and are filed for processing with the institution or person to whom they are addressed.

A copy of them is therefore registered and receives the relevant notes, such as the protocol number and date, from the Assembly's protocol register. Thus, the document always remains in the Assembly's archives.

Then, it is the Secretary General of the Assembly who forwards the parliamentary group's letter, accompanied by a covering letter with the Assembly's logo and signed by the Secretary General himself.

Gazment Bardhi has drafted a completely forged document.

Sign on behalf of the parliamentary group when there are no group meetings and signatures.

It uses the emblem and logo of the Assembly, when the Assembly has not filed any letter with signatures from Gazment Bardhi and has not processed any letter from the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party addressed to SPAK.

From the style used, this style of Gazi is very similar to the electoral tactics of Adriatik Lapaj.

From our side they say: "they look alike without being a match"./ CNA

The Chairman of the Parliamentary Group in the Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi, has made a post on social networks announcing on behalf of this group that he has filed a complaint with SPAK with new data from the US Department of Justice regarding the McGonigal case.

Bardhi has published a document with the complaint and the evidence presented, but does not inform the public with which MPs he made the decision and which parliamentary group since there is no letter with the MPs' signatures.

Post by the Head of the Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi

Where is the Group's decision?

Which Parliamentary Group has gathered, the old group or the new group? Because the new Parliamentary Group has not yet taken office, the oath will be taken on September 12th.

In the event that Parliament convenes urgently tonight or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the elected deputies are not called, because they have not been sworn in; the old Parliamentary Group is called.

Who did Gazment Bardhi make the decision with?

Where does Gazment Bardhi have the decision of the Parliamentary Group?

Where are the signatures of the decision of the old Parliamentary Group?

Because the new Group's signatures have no legal value since MPs are not called such until they take the oath./CNA

The arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and his bodyguard, Mero Baze, continue to deceive public opinion day after day.

A full 22 days have passed and neither Veliaj nor Mero Baze have published the document signed by Ols Dado and the refusal signed by the mayor regarding the claims for an addition to the construction permit, which according to them puts the prosecutor, who, according to them, conducted the investigations in "revenge", in a conflict of interest.

The allegations they have made against Dada are purely and simply public deceptions with the sole purpose of thwarting justice.

Mero Baze's claim

Mero Baze says that, according to him, the investigation against Veliaj is being insistently requested by a prosecutor, who months ago had a personal conflict with him, regarding his requests for a construction permit outside the legal criteria that the municipality had.

"So, it is clear that we are dealing with an investigation urgently requested by a prosecutor, who months ago had a personal conflict with him, regarding his requests for a construction permit outside the legal criteria that the municipality had, which was not granted," says Mero Baze, who serves as a tool of Mayor Erion Veliaj.

If so, why doesn't Mero Baze confirm it? Where is the document with Ols Dado's signature and the refusal signed by Erion Veliaj? Why doesn't he produce it?

In point 135, Veliaj says that prosecutor Ols Dado obtained a building permit from the Municipality of Tirana and then requested an addition to the permit and this was refused.

While in point 136 of the document without a seal and signature, Erion treats this as a matter of "revenge" on the part of prosecutor Ols Dado, because, according to him, he was not granted a construction permit for the addition after he made a request.

Why doesn't Erion Veliaj issue the document with Ols Dado's signature and the refusal with his own signature?

A full 22 days have passed and Erion Veliaj and Mero Baze continue their public deception of Albanians, simply and solely to attack the justice system for the fact that it has put behind bars a mayor arrested for several serious criminal offenses and with 13 charges./ CNA
