Lawyer Idajet Beqiri made a strong statement on the show "Repolitix" on Report TV, quoting a confession of Izet Haxhi, who said that Azem Hajdari asked him for help to kill Sali Berisha.
"The problem was that there was a rumor that Saliu took the party from Azem Hajdari. Saliu was brought in by Ramiz Alia to take over the party from Azem Hjadari and he took it, the second most important thing was that with the pyramid schemes and the fall of the state Azem Hajdari came alive within the PD with the sole aim of took the party. At 97 I speak. He would take the party. He processed it, talked about it with others.
Hajdari even asked Izet Haxhi for help, what are we going to do, kill Sali Berisha. Let's kill him and get him off the horse. It's true. I don't talk in vain. He is in jail and can deny it. In 97. Izet Haxhia told him in the first place that I am Tropojan, I promised him that I will protect him, but if you are wrong, the doctor is giving you a lot. It is bringing you closer and you will have a good position. Take it easy on this one. How the doctor found out afterwards and what happened is another story," said Beqiri.
Izet Haxhia, Berisha's former bodyguard, was convicted as an accomplice in the murder of ex-deputy Azem Hajdari on September 12, 1998. During the retrial process, Haxhia asked to face and testify in the trial for the murder of the century, as well as former prime minister Sali Berisha, who according to the former bodyguard ordered the killing of Hajdar, but this request was rejected by the court. Jaho Mulosmani is also serving a life sentence for the mafia assassination of Azem Hajdari.
