AT, (the officer's name and initials have been changed to protect his identity), was one of those young officers who could have had a future in the State Police.
After a short time as a police officer of the Eagles in Tirana, the officer, inspired by the order and safety of citizens' lives, competed and became part of the elite RENEA guild, but his career did not last long.
Two consecutive operations, where he saw a reality different from his passion for the law, as well as suspicions that the officers are betrayed from within the ranks, led him to irrevocably resign from the State Police.
It was the year 2020, when RENEA was ordered to suddenly control the businesses of Ervis Martinaj, at that time an unpunished and powerful name.
AT, they had learned that, when RENEA enters for checks and for the capture of dangerous persons, the principle of security, which is applied, is to stretch the boat and handcuff anyone. This was the standard that the young policeman was following that day, when armed and masked, the occasion led him to order Ervis Martinaj to sit on the ground himself.
When the special forces officer was met with opposition, he reacted by stretching him with force and at one point his comrades saw, when in the action above he slapped the known as the king of gambling, but what AT saw, little minutes later he demolished it professionally.
He noticed some of his superiors, consoling Ervis Martinaj, calming him with the words: "Don't be upset ".
Under anonymity, friends of AT, officers in RENEA, talk to INA MEDIA about the breaking point of the former policeman, who now serves as a professor in a faculty.
"After this moment, we continued the checks, but we noticed the stunned colleague from the scene with the superiors. He then gathered us and declared: "I will leave the police." This police is not what I wanted".
Rumors had long been buzzing among the policemen of the special department, whether or not they were betrayed by their own ranks or by whom.
With the suspicions that they were de-conspired, the failed actions over the years returned RENEA without the wanted Gëzim Çela, former police officer, suspected trafficker, Talo Çela, Klement Balili and Ervis Martinaj.
One of the veteran operatives in RENEA adds: " The first time, when we arrived for a flash check in Fushë Kuqe, it was after information that a mayor from the north of the country had been beaten there. He had gambled and lost a lot. A briefing was held and we left. We neutralized and kept the customers lying down as well.
Did you find luxury cars and keys in the frame. Later we learned that Bajrat had been there and had left before we arrived.
We realized that someone had announced and everyone had run away. We took Ervis Martinaj to the local police together with the armored vehicle and then he came out ", - the officer recalls the incident three years ago.
