He tells me I will kill you if you disobey my orders. I am afraid of him", she testified before the police.
The injury in "Colombo" in 2014
From a review by the Supreme Court of the request of one of those arrested in 2014 for the serious incident in the Pëllumb Tuda bar: "On 04.07.2014, around 02:00, Shpëtim Meta went to the bar "Kolombo", but he was not allowed to enter by the guard of the bar, Besnik Ruçi, who found that he was armed.
For this reason, they argued with each other, Shpetimi threatened him with a gun, shooting to the ground, while the guard punched him in the face, knocking him down.
Then citizen Shpëtim Meta left with his vehicle. About this event, the guard informed the owner of the Pëllumb Tuda bar, who at that moment approached the entrance of the bar.
The citizen Shpëtim Meta returned after about 10 minutes with his vehicle and started shooting with firearms in the direction of the citizen Besnik Ruci. The owner Pëllumb Tuda also shot with a pistol.
Citizen Pëllumb Tuda gave the pistol to citizen Ivan Tuda (his nephew) and then the latter gave it to citizen Lumturi Tuda to hide the weapon. The police then seized the crime weapon."
