The Vlora Prosecution Office has closed the investigations by charging three people as organizers of the murder of Renato Hoxhaj , a parking lot guard in the "Hajro Çakëri" neighborhood, an event that occurred on April 27, 2025.
This concerns the Romanian citizen, who is wanted, Daniel Cornea , and his two Albanian assistants, Kleanth Bylyku and Eris Mehmetaj .
According to journalist Elton Qyno, the crime was carried out by a criminal group for payment.
For this, the criminal group has contracted foreign killers, of Romanian nationality.
The purpose of the murder was not only to eliminate Hoxhaj, but to send a clear message to opponents that the war between the two criminal clans in Vlora will continue.
The last two people, who are currently arrested and being held in prison, are accused by the prosecution of the criminal offense of "Providing the conditions to commit murder."
While the other defendant, Romanian citizen Daniel Cornea, who is wanted, has been charged with " Premeditated Murder" and "Unlicensed Possession of Firearms ."
Cornea, immediately after committing the murder, fled towards Greece, avoiding being arrested by the Albanian police.
Initially, the investigation team considered the incident to be a minor one, as it was initially investigated as a trivial conflict. But the more they investigated the matter, the more complicated the crime became.
An amateur camera had captured the assassin, who appeared to be not only completely masked, but also of enormous build.
But it was once again the security cameras around the city of Vlora that managed to capture a suspicious vehicle.
His pursuit led to the discovery of the person who had the vehicle, who testified that he had given the car to an acquaintance and that he was unaware of where it had ended up.
The investigation revealed that Renato Hoxhaj worked not only as a night watchman in a parking lot, but also as a guard near the apartment of a well-known exponent of organized crime in Vlora, with the initials GS.
According to the Vlora police and prosecutor's office, Hoxhaj's murder is related precisely to the latter's conflicts.
It is expected that the case against the 3 defendants, Daniel Cornea, Kleanth Bylyku and Eris Mehmetaj , will now be subject to legal proceedings in the Vlora court./ EltonQyno
