Neighbors and friends tell the life of Gert Shehu

In the neighborhood of the author  of the physical attack on former Prime Minister Sali Berisha in the December 6 protest. The 31-year-old, who lived among calls for faith and merchants selling used clothes on "Shyqyri Ishmi" street in Tirana, was not known as a problem, nor as an attacker of individuals

"My name is Gerti and I have nothing else to say". In the efforts to learn and convince whether the 31-year-old from Tirana hit the former prime minister Sali Berisha because of mental problems, or was pushed by someone else, police station number 1 has tried several times to extract from him a statement.

But this was impossible. Almost on the verge of a failure. Filmed punching former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, he says he will speak at another time.

Under these conditions, as reported by police sources near Gazetasi.al, the case for Gert Shehu, a resident of "Shyqyri Ishmi" street, was taken over by the Central Directorate of Tirana.

investigation

Among the dozens of operations carried out during the afternoon hours of Tuesday and Wednesday, agents have been ordered to contact anyone who knows the handcuffed youth, his contacts and so far his every movement since ten days ago is being monitored .

"We cannot say if the suspect was pushed by someone or if this is entirely his own action," one of the members of the investigation group at the local police headquarters declares under the condition of anonymity.

According to him, until now the agents report that Gert Shehu was not known as a problem, nor as an attacker of individuals.

"This is the dilemma that convinces us that someone may have inspired him and used his introverted nature," said the official, according to which the fact that the young man was closed and did not create incidents means that this explosion came as a surprise to him. a politician and in a protest, there may be unknown drivers.

But on the other hand, the fact that Gert Shehu is a citizen registered in the field of narcotics for previous events, aggravates his situation.

As well as a letter distributed by his mother, in which it is proven that he suffered from mental health problems.

What happens in his neighborhood

Raised on the first floor of an old building, to which the entrance is through a gray gate, the 31-year-old is known in the neighborhood as a boy who did not disturb anyone.

"He passed by yesterday and said to me: 'O uncle, will you give me a cigarette'", says one of the residents who remembers the boy as closed.

The others who sat with him under the trees on some chairs are of the same age as him.

"There is no way that Gerti could have done this at the behest of someone, who has something on his mind," says one of his friends.

Convinced that his friend was living in not very good economic conditions, the young man remembers that Gerti was neither a trafficker nor a drug distributor.

"You read in the portals that Gerti was so and so. They are not true. Gert was a straight guy, he didn't mess with anyone. He lived and wore used clothes. He was honest and neither filed nor a police informer. What are these things you are saying?", another acquaintance of the arrested person who is being investigated by the police for assault due to duty, testifies to Gazetasi.al.

The young man insists that his friend was abandoned, worked as a motorcycle deliveryman and was poor.

"He didn't steal, he didn't mess around, sometimes he was teased, but it's painful what happened to him", says one of the women in the neighborhood.

Between bullying and medication

In fact, the 31-year-old lived between the voice of the imam who invites the faithful to prayer and the voice of the sellers who call "open the bag for clothes".

Residents say that his father left for the USA and he was an only child. The mother, a construction engineer, tried to get the income to live and also to guarantee medicine for her son.

Gazetasi.al tried to contact the mother of the detainee, who did not answer the phone.

"One day he told me that I will do something to become famous. I didn't understand, but he was thinking, he went to the mosque, he worked, sometimes these gringos with money made fun of him, but he, closed as he was, answered them, some shot him when he spoke. There were problems, but I was never afraid of him", a woman who knows his family very well tells Gazetasi.al.

According to her, the attack carried out by Gerti is nothing but the action of a boy who suffered from mental health problems, but above all of a young man who worked, was bullied by others through videos and had not managed to survive like his peers.

"Is it possible that someone has used it", asked Gazetasi.al? He didn't drink alcohol, he wasn't violent, maybe someone talked to him often and he suddenly decided to do this, attacking the leader of the Democrats"./ Source: Gazeta Si
