Fatmir Mediu violated the law when he was Minister of Defense by abusing his duties, actions which brought about the tragedy of Gërdec, where 26 people lost their lives and many others were injured. This is the conclusion that the Special Prosecutor's Office (SPAK) has reached after several months of investigation for the former Minister of Defense, who is already accused of "abuse of duty" and has officially been charged.
Media sources have confirmed that Mediu will be officially informed of the charges today by SPAK.
The Special Prosecutor's Office has opened the case and is continuing the investigations for a year now, to identify the main people responsible for the Gërdec tragedy that happened during the time Sali Berisha was in power. A series of evidence makes Sali Berisha and his son Shkëlzeni as well as Fatmir Mediut responsible. This is because the names of Sali Berisha and Shkëlzenin were often mentioned in the telephone conversations between Gërdec's key witness, Kosta Trebicka, and Efraim Diverol, the arms trafficker from Florida. From the disclosure of phone records, Efraim Diveroli stated that Berisha and Shkëlzeni are the heads of the mafia that controlled Gërdec.
SPAK has already resumed the questioning of witnesses, heirs of the victims and persons injured by the tragedy. Former senior officials in the period of the tragedy on March 15, 2008 will also be part of the re-examination, where apart from Aldo Bumçi./ alhbarnija.com
