"I'm shocked." This is what Ferhat Tugaj, the owner of the business that was attacked with a Kalashnikov firearm in Gjurme i Kurbini on Wednesday evening, where more than 30 bullets were fired at his business, says this.
In a statement to the media, he says that the gunfire happened as soon as they went to their house, which they have on the second floor of the building where the business was located on the first floor.
According to him, his security cameras were turned off a few seconds before the shooting started and only recorded the moment when the perpetrators' car arrived in front of the business.
Furthermore, Ferhat Tugaj says that he has no conflict with anyone and also accuses the police authorities of the investigations into this event.
"Around 23:00, 23:20 in the evening, I went to my room. Mom got out and ran because we have houses next to here, it wasn't even 10 minutes when the volley of the machine gun was heard. I guess it's fireworks that sometimes happen on any birthday. I saw that it was louder and normally it sounded a lot like noise, I was scared to be honest. I don't know how things are, where things are, but to be honest, I'm shocked. I realized that it's just some type of assassination or something to scare that normally someone who has something personal with me comes to get me, there's no need to come and put bullets into the business. I went, mom came too, then normally I called the police. I have never had conflicts in my life. I am very impressed with the very late response.
The incident happened last night. They have not come to take the cameras of my house, imagine, from here to Laç there are 30 businesses. Everyone has cameras. I was upset yesterday, I went to the Lezha Directorate to make a further complaint. Now I plan to go to Tirana, to file a complaint there as well. They did not welcome me there in Lezhë, I asked for the director, the director was busy because he was at another event. I think that there is no state in Albania, because I believe, it has worked and it will always work, friend, who has money to do something more, who doesn't have money stays in the country. To be afraid to live in your house, in your troubles, in your house. To be honest, I have no doubts. No doubt to anyone. I want justice, only justice, whoever is the author should go to his place. At least keep calm in your work.
Më ka ndodh një rast tjetër, kam pasur një punë makinash, se unë makina me qira jap këtu, më ka ndodhur një konflikt i vogël, kam shkuar në polici, kam bërë denoncim, veç deklaratë, marrin deklaratë aty edhe mbrapa ku jemi parë. Më shumë dëme materiale ka, rreth 7-8 mijë Euro jo më shumë. Më ka dëmtuar më shumë pjesa e ngjarjes që ka ndodhur se sa dëmtimi. Kur hapa kamerat për të parë ngjarjen, shifet shumë qartë makina që vjen këtu, ndalohet para oborrit aty edhe fiks 4-5 sekonda vetëm stakohen kamerat edhe mbrapa dëgjohet breshëria, domethënë nuk e ka kapur fare”, thotë pronari Ferhat Tugaj.
