Berisha "points the finger" at the police/ Accusations of cooperation

Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha

The former Prime Minister Sali Berisha addressed the police with very strong accusations of cooperation with the gangs which, according to him, robbed the citizens of their lives.

At the press conference, Berisha made a series of accusations and denunciations about the gangs in different districts, where he says they paid the commissioners 20 million ALL.

Among other things, he said, DP exponents were threatened by bandits. He also denounced that there have been cases of assassinations in Vaun e Deja and in Lezhë.

" The May 2023 electoral farce, one of the most ugly and criminal aspects was the fusion of gangs, murderers and traffickers with the State Police in their terroristic, criminal action against voters and citizens.

The gangs became one or were entirely under the umbrella of the police. For them, the narco-police not only did not take measures, but they engaged in shameful stagings for the opposition, at a time when trucks with euros were available and circulated on the side of the narco-government against the voters.
In Shkodër, our DP exponents were called by thugs, threatened in the wildest way by them, they were offered up to 20 million lek per commissioner, from 10 thousand euros per commissioner.
In Lezha, under the protection of the Lezha Police, the gangs distributed money and terror throughout the night in different areas of the Lezha district. Somewhere, somewhere they are filmed and there you can see the cars of the gangs and the police car that stayed on the other side to guarantee their criminal activity.

The gangs, in Peshkopi, were under the protection of Balluke, who was associated with the bandits. And from Ymer Lala's hotel, he directed their electoral banditry operations.
The gangs returned from Dubai, in Durrës and other districts, in Elbasan and other places, dictated the will of the citizens under the protection of the police.
Exponents of the DP became victims of assassinations organized to eliminate them, in Vaun e Deja, in Lezhë, etc.

Gangs occupied the polling stations, as in the case of Velipoja. In Mamurras, they distributed up to 600 euros per vote. All this openly, because they had the protection of the narco police.
In Nikël, murderers and traffickers blocked the polling stations, put a lot of pressure on the commissioners, while the narco police arrested a person with a car and deceived the Albanian public opinion that he was buying votes, at a time when he did not even have a penny yourself. Despite not having a penny in the car, the police statement said he was caught buying votes. How and how to create noise about buying votes from the opposition and not from the government.

Even the number of the police, that day, hundreds of calls were made by the opposition. The police either did not respond, or told them: present the complaint in writing, at a time when the polling station was occupied ," said Berisha./ CNA.al
