The former chief prosecutor of Tirana, Elisabeta Imeraj, has spoken about the murder of Ardian Nikulaj in Shengjin in Lezha and the details that have been revealed about the execution. In Report Tv, Imeraj said that the orderer, Edmond Haxhia, chose foreigners to kill Nikulaj since it would be easier for them to lose track.
The former chief prosecutor says that the Portuguese executioner, Ruben Saraiva, and the 5 British associates had an easier time observing Ardian Nikulaj, behaving like foreign tourists. Imeraj said that only foreign tourists could get close to Nikulaj, as he was a very guarded person, and the Albanians would find it many times more difficult to execute him.
"Why were they chosen as collaborators? There are two moments, first is the fact of avoiding finding traces and with foreign nationals it can be more difficult. Second, it is always a tendency that foreign citizens are seen as more privileged in Albania. Arriving as foreigners in such an area where they had been accommodated for two months, they found it easier to adapt, to be more observant, due to the fact that they can be considered as tourists. In relation to foreign citizens, society has a kind of tolerance, the client has thought through some details, to achieve the commission of the criminal offense. The choice of foreign citizens, apart from the part that has nothing to do with the area, is also related to the fact that it was well thought out beforehand, authors who can carry out such a thing were chosen", said Imeraj .
Another reason why the person who commissioned the murder, Edmond Haxhia, may have chosen a foreign executioner, Imeraj says, is the blood feud he had with the Nikulaj family. According to her, this could be a way to break the chain of revenge, so that if the murder was not revealed, the motive would remain unclear.
"In this particular case, finding possible perpetrators, who become useful to commit criminal acts, is the result of a well-thought-out plan. It shows a cooperation between Albanian citizens and foreigners. I want to relate it to public safety and the way, the fact that the victim was a character who was on guard. With the impossibility that the murder was done by Albanian citizens. If we relate it to public safety. In order not to continue the chain, it is thought that using foreign characters, and not revealing the order would make it possible for this disclosure not to be disclosed in the sense of its purpose. If the killer and the accomplices were discovered and not the client, and hypotheses would emerge as to why it happened ," said Imeraj.
Sa i takon largimit të tyre jashtë Shqipërisë, Imeraj u shpreh se e kishin shumë tëlehtë për të ikur, pasi nuk ka kontroll strikt për turistët, si edhe nuk ka pasur dyshime për momentin për ta.
“Janë larguar se s’ka patur një dyshim për ta në momentin që janë larguar. Megjithatë ajo çfarë është shqetësuese është fakti që disa të huaj prej më shumë se dy muaj, kanë mundësi të akomodohen, të vëzhgojnë, të lëvizin të armatosur, dhe në drejtim të sigurisë publike që këtu ka ceduar në raport me detyrën që duhet të kryejnë organet ligjzbatuese”, vijoi Imeraj.
