Today, Mayor Erion Veliaj has lied again about his arrest. According to the mayor's claims, he was arrested because prosecutors and judges were afraid he would leave the country.

But this is another lie by the mayor of Tirana arrested for corruption and money laundering.

In fact, the essence of why Erion Veliaj was arrested is not whether he was fleeing or not, because he had nowhere to go, but because he was destroying evidence.

He and his associates have destroyed evidence.

It is enough to see his behavior in the cell, where he is suspected of carrying a phone, the language, the swearing, insults and intimidation he uses against prosecutors and judges, imagine what Erion Veliaj could do to witnesses if he were free with his collaborators as in the case of Klotilda Bushka but also in other cases with leadership, with media violence, insults towards prosecutor Ols Dado and judge Erjon Bani in a violent manner to scare prosecutors and judges before the Appeals case.

That's why Erion Veliaj is lying. He doesn't care about the security measures that he doesn't run away, but he cares about being free with the obligation to report to continue his mission.

He in the cell has a thug's language with slander and insults that are no longer free.

All the insults, insults and slander have been directed at the justice system people who investigated him, about whom he has not spoken, and for a year now he has been attacking them in institutions like the ILD or the KLP.

The defendant was arrested, so the situation is not what Erion Veliaj says. The situation is different. He is not in handcuffs because he could have left, but he is in handcuffs because he and his associates were destroying evidence, and you only need to look at his behavior and everything is clear./ CNA
