Journalist Sokol Bregu said that the arrest of Dritan Rexhepi is one of the biggest arrests that the public has heard about in the last 2-3 years.
According to the journalist, Rexhepi has a special criminal mind and is capable of organizing a criminal organization overnight.
"It is one of the biggest arrests that we may have heard about in the last 2-3 years. Rexhepi is not just a wanted person. For Albania, he remains one of the main characters of crime. He was arrested 5-6 times and escaped, once the 6th in Ecuador bought a lawyer who provided him with a report and got out of jail.
He escaped from Albania after killing 2 policemen, he escaped from an Italian prison and a Belgian prison. Only in Ecuador has he not escaped, he bought a lawyer when he saw that he could not escape.
It is a very special criminal mind. When he was only 20 years old, he killed 2 policemen. He is a scary character in the way he thinks and how he organizes his criminal network, a group that has no permanent ties.
Rexhep is alone. Able to organize an organization overnight the way he wants.
He is a character who has the ability to make friends with any criminal group anywhere in the world. It's wild, it's violent, it's a criminal mind.
Arresting him will not help uncover other groups. He was arrested on behalf of Italy. You cannot escape from the Turkish prison. They are prisons which, I have heard and read, and when the day has come to leave, they have forgotten that they are not even documents. They are very serious prisons" , he said on MCN TV.
Bregu added that in relation to the hostage-taking and murder of Jan Prenga, Dritan Rexhepin is only charged with kidnapping in Albania, since the victim's body has not been found.
" Rexhepi had ordered to send drugs to Great Britain. The drugs were not caught, they were stolen. And when it was stolen he could not find it and ordered the hostage taking of his brother, who was not related to his brother at all.
They took him to blackmail him, at one point he died from the violence, the body was never found. When there is no body there can be no charge of murder, there is only charge of kidnapping.
The Albanian state cannot intervene. The punishment that can be received in Albania is lower than any received in Italy. I don't think that the Albanian state is interested in bringing it to this country. In Italy there are the most serious charges. More extreme penalties and higher security ," he said.
