"We didn't know they were BKH agents", the testimony of Agron

At around 10:00 this morning, Ledjan Kapllanaj and Klaudjo Kapllanaj, the two nephews of the former mayor of Mallakastra, Agron Kapllanaj, appeared at the Fier District Court, along with Gerald Kollçak. The three were summoned to familiarize themselves with the security measure following an incident that occurred a few days ago, where they are accused of "Assault due to duty".

The suspects stated in their testimony that they were unaware that the people they had detained and attacked were agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (BKH), as the latter were camouflaged. According to them, if they had known this fact, they would not have reacted violently.

The court session was presided over by a panel of judges consisting of Judge Alfred Konomi, Prosecutor Petrit Vukaj and Attorney Niko Bega. At the end of the session, the security measure "arrest with imprisonment" was imposed on the three arrested, while investigations into the incident continue. 

The whole episode began at a time when a BKH agent, accompanied by officers, was conducting an operation on orders from SPAK in the village of Portëz e Madhe.

According to the prosecution, they were filmed by a person and this caused them to abandon the operation to move to a place called "Park Roundabout", where they were approached by several people who arrived in 3 cars, to physically attack them.

"While they were standing in their vehicle in another location, on the side of a public road near the place called "Park Roundabout", in the city of Fier, three vehicles approached them, from which several people got out, and who exercised physical violence against the police officers, despite the latter's presentation," the Prosecution explains.
