"The State Police today still does not know whether he was killed or not". This is what Prime Minister Edi Rama said about the disappearance of Ervis Martinaj last week.
1 week later, the State Police still does not have an answer to the fate of the much-wanted Ervis Martinaj.
The department of serious crimes in the General Directorate is also involved in the investigation, as the Kurbin prosecutor's office is investigating the case of kidnapping.
The telenovela, as the prime minister called it, will most likely continue as the investigators have not yet found concrete evidence to come to a conclusion.
Euronews Albania has provided the photo and data from the TIMS system, where before the declaration of wanted Martinaj appears to have had frequent exits to Kosovo.
During this period, the police have information about his trips to Spain and Austria.
On the other hand, there are doubts that the 40-year-old may have used forged documents.
In parallel with the kidnapping track, the police are also investigating a possible staging.
The case continues to be investigated by the Kurbin prosecutor's office, although Martinaj is wanted by SPAK after escaping the "Golden Bullet" operation.
