For the second time, the prosecutor's office of Tirana is expected to send a letter to Slovenia to obtain information about the owners of a vehicle that was used to observe Brilant Martinaj and his two friends Dikler Vata and Besmir Hoxha, before they were executed at the overpass Fushë Krujës on July 17, 2022.
After receiving the answer to the previous letter sent to this country, but also to another one in Kosovo, it was deemed necessary, we are still looking for additional data in Slovenia that relate precisely to the Volkswagen Polo type vehicle, which has been fixed by the security cameras and the people inside this vehicle are suspected to have helped the team of killers with information about the movements of the targets.
The vehicle was later found burned, and some information was found linking it to Slovenia. In Kosovo, for the same vehicle, an attempt was made to obtain the testimony of a person who temporarily owned it, but he did not cooperate with the authorities.
The identification of the owners and how the car entered Albania can open a good track for the investigators, to track down the suspected perpetrators of the massacre.
Brilant Martinaj was shot dead together with two friends at the overpass of Fuša Kruja. After the massacre, his cousin, Ervis Martinaj, known as the gambling king, disappeared without a trace.
Both events, as well as other assassinations where the victims were Ervis Martinajn's men, are without perpetrators. The motive of the events is settling accounts between criminal groups that clashed over gambling.
