Lawyer Ulian Barjami was arrested this Saturday after threatening a prosecutor during a court hearing.

The incident occurred during the hearing against Maksim Lika, also known by the nickname "Suci", whom Barjami legally represented.

Maksim Lika was previously detained during a flash operation conducted in Elbasan and is suspected of having connections with underworld figures, including Emiljano Shullazi.

The National Bar Association of Albania reacts

The National Bar Association of Albania has also reacted to the event, strongly condemning the arrest of lawyer Ulian Barjami by the Elbasan Police.

The Chamber of Advocates says that according to them, it results that a confrontation of equal arms in the courtroom, according to the law, has ended in an abuse of the prosecutor's attributes, by not accepting the judicial debate, but by ordering the handcuffing of lawyer Ulian Barjami.

Reaction of the Albanian Bar Association:

"We are dealing with the arrest of the lawyer due to his statements in the defense context in the courtroom, with his statement — that he will file a report for falsifying evidence against the prosecutor — being treated as a threat and opposition to the prosecutor."

This is an unprecedented event, where a lawyer is deprived of his freedom due to free speech in the courtroom, where he expresses his opinion on the falsity of the evidence and the responsibility that, according to the lawyer, should be borne by the author of the falsification, which in this case is the prosecutor.

The Chamber of Advocates calls on the High Inspector of Justice, the High Prosecutorial Council, and the General Prosecutor's Office to act urgently on this flagrant case of arbitrariness and open violation of the law.

This is because the Chamber, based on the legal framework and the Constitution of Albania, still believes that we are the Republic of Albania – a state with justice based on evidence and facts – and not a “Republic of Prosecutors”, declared the President of the Albanian Bar Association, Maksim Haxhia.

The circumstances of the event according to the version of the Albanian Bar Association:

"Yesterday, on 17.10.2025, a court hearing was held to determine the security measure against citizen Maksim Suçi, etc., a hearing held at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Elbasan, by Judge Megi Strakosha, where the prosecution was represented by prosecutor Gjergji Ceka.

The defense attorney of citizen Maksim Suçi, attorney Ulian Barjami, after ascertaining the video evidence presented at the hearing, where his client did not appear at all violently opposing police officers, declared that he would file a report for falsification of evidence against the prosecutor, as the written minutes brought by the prosecutor to trial described a situation where attorney Barjami's client had used violence against police officers.

Prosecutor Ceka, irritated by this statement, responded to lawyer Barjami by saying: "You should be arrested, you will be arrested!", and in the meantime, nervously, turned his head towards the police officers present in the courtroom.

Lawyer Barjami responded by declaring: "I will file a report, because you have violated the law."

Judge Strakosha intervened in response to these statements, explaining to lawyer Barjami that he should avoid this discussion and focus on interpreting the evidence at that moment, without considering what he would do next.

The session continued calmly and ended normally, without any debate or discussion between the parties.

Prosecutor Ceka did not leave it at that and, apparently, filed a report against the lawyer, with the sole intention of arresting him, as he stated in the hearing.

Based on this report, lawyer Barjami was summoned today, on 18.10.2025, in the morning hours by Judicial Police officers at the Elbasan Local Police Directorate, initially telling him over the phone that he only needed to provide some clarifications.

After many hours of being held at the police station, in the afternoon, around 15:00 - 15:30, police officer Zmeralda Mehilli on her own initiative arrested lawyer Barjami as a suspect for the following criminal offenses:

-"Threats due to duty",

-"Opposition and hitting the referee", and

-"Intimidation of the judge",

after, according to her, she threatened the prosecutor in the case, Gjergji Ceka, and the judicial police officers who carried out investigative actions.

The report was written and signed by the Mehilli Police Department, as if it was carried out much later, at 5:40 PM, while the arrest was actually carried out at 3:00 PM."

Who is "Suci"?

Maksim Lika (also known as “Suci”) was arrested as part of the police operation “Fast” in Elbasan on October 13, 2025, along with at least 10 other people, after being caught in a bar near the Elbasan-Ish-Metalurgji axis. He is being investigated for illegal possession of weapons and resisting police, with three pistols seized during the intervention, and is suspected of having been in the company of a business meeting that the police consider to be involved in the field of criminal organizations.
