The journalist, Artan Hoxha commented on the mafia murder of Erjon Xhenje, who was shot dead on September 18 in a bar in Shkodër. In an interview, he said that if the perpetrators of the 19-year-old's murder are not caught, then other assassinations are expected. Hoxha said that Shkodra has become one of the most cannabis-infested cities in Albania, this in combination with criminal groups makes the city the eighth most dangerous.
Hoxha said that the genesis of the murder of the 19-year-old is August 25, the day when Alban Bruç was assassinated, who miraculously escaped the bullets. He was the father of Bajram Çekora, who was wanted for the assassination of Bruçi, who a few days later spoke to the media and accused the police of supporting the criminal groups of Shkodra.
A few days later on September 2, he was killed at the door of the house. The chain continues with the murder of Xhenje on September 18, said Hoxha. While warning that there will be other murders, if the police do not react and do not reveal the perpetrators behind the attacks.
" The Shkodra event begins on August 25 with the assassination of Alban Bruçi. Bajram Čekorja and the son of a businessman were accused of this and were declared wanted. This triggered a conflict that is always in the air. But the attempt on Bruchi failed.
Çekora's father reacted a few days later and said that whenever crimes happen, the police come to his house, saying that the police support criminal groups in Shkodër. He accused that the opposing group has the support of the state.
4 days after August 25, Bajram Čekorja is declared wanted. Ismet Čekorja said that his son has no fingers. On September 2, Ismet Čekorja, the one who said that the police support criminal groups, was killed in an assassination attempt. His assassination stirred the waters. This was accompanied by the assassination of September 18, where 19-year-old Erjon Xhenje was killed in a bar. Criminal groups do not only attack people directly, but also their relatives.
In Shkodër, everyone is under threat. The event started on August 25, it was not acted on quickly, that's why there were other assassinations. The first one came on September 2nd, the third one on the 18th. Of course there will be another one, of course I know the name but I don't know when. Shkodra was the most cannabis-infested city this year. 200 cannabis plants in one plot. The most cannabis-infested area mixed with gang conflicts. If measures are not taken, we will only wait for the next victim ", said Artan Hoxha for ABC.
