Five months after the disappearance, FNSH and RENEA have found an arsenal of weapons in the apartment of the betting boss, Ervis Martinaj.
The arsenal of weapons was hidden in the beehives, while in this amount of weapons and ammunition, there were elements that are mainly found in the criminal events of murders that remain without perpetrators.
According to information, in the house of Ervis Martinaj and his 2 uncles Faik and Rakip Martinaj, 2 automatic firearms, 1 silencer, about 7 thousand combat cartridges of different calibers, for light and heavy weapons, 85 explosive shells, 1 bayonet knife, 9 police uniforms, 7 multifunctional vests, 11 police hats, 2 police radios, police overalls, rubber face mask and various documents.
It was Martinaj himself who had warned them about the checks in his apartment, just before he disappeared.
The Prosecutor's Office of Laçi, which is following the investigation of the mysterious disappearance of businessman Ervis Martinaj, has confirmed during its verifications, only a dry communication that Martinaj made with his uncle, through the "Telegram" application. The message was sent on the afternoon of August 9, by Martinaj at 7:21 p.m., notifying his uncle, Rakip Martinaj, with the content: "...Caution, there may be checks...".
This message was seen after 3 minutes by Rakip's wife, L.Martianj, who is also the mother of Brilanti, who was executed on July 17, 2022, in the Fushë-Kruja massacre. When she saw the message received from Ervis, on her husband's phone, at 19:24 on August 9, she wrote: "...Are you okay? From whom from the police or from…….”.
After these dry words, Ervis Martinaj's phone had no signal and no answer was given. Informed by his wife, about this abnormal situation, Rakip Martinaj and other relatives called the "king" of gambling, but again no one answered beyond the phone.
This brought further concern within the family, engaging not only with their human resources, but also seeking the help of state bodies, to carry out investigations in order to locate the location of Ervis Martinaj. Since that date, Martinaj's disappearance continues to remain a mystery, raising strong suspicions, through a possible execution or for a withdrawal scenario from the usual activity.
