Murder of former police officer Malko, father of "Prince Damian"

The trial begins at the Special Court for Leonard Duka, considered the head of the organization called "Klani Duka", who is accused of the murder of former police officer Santiago Malko in August 2019 at "Xhamlliku" in Tirana.

This Tuesday (July 1), Muhamet Duka, the defendant's father, appeared to testify, as the trial panel decided last time after the defense's requests.

"I have friendly relations with two of the defendants, I have blood relations with some of the other defendants. I agree to testify before the court," he said at the start of his testimony.

The witness was questioned by the lawyers regarding conflicts and relations with the victim Malko.

"I have not had a personal conflict with Santiago Malko. Leonard and Erlis Duka have not had a conflict with Santiago Malko. I do not know Ervis Martinaj. To my knowledge, my sons have not had any conflict with this citizen," he said.

Questions were also asked by the prosecutor of the file, SPAK, Behar Dibra, regarding the defendants in the case, their acquaintance with them, and Muhamet Duka answered:

"Aleksandër Maxhaku is known to me, he is my nephew from my sister. For short they call him "Leks", "Aleks", it depends. I haven't met him for 6 years, it's been a long time. I haven't been able to meet him, I don't know anything about his whereabouts. Dritan Agaj is known to me. A man known to us. One of our nieces has him as a husband. We have ours to some extent. I saw Dritan with my sons, I saw them as boys. I know Oltion Logë, I saw him as a face. I know him, I saw him in the neighborhood. We also called Oltion "Olt". I don't know which of the boys he was with. I didn't know Fatmir Doçaj, I heard him on TV later. I heard Ilir Selmani, I don't know him. I heard Blendi Teta in the media, I don't know him. I don't know who he is. I didn't have any business with him before. I was in trade, now I'm retired. I had my own bar. My bar didn't have any name. The management was handled by me and my daughter-in-law. The boys were dealing with their own affairs, their own business. They were involved in gambling. I don't know who they collaborated with. I didn't interfere, they were adults. I live with my wife. Leonardi used to live with his brother, separated from us. They lived in a rented house. I lived in 'Fresk', the boys I don't know where they lived. I never even asked them, I didn't go to their apartment. They came to my house. I helped them once, when they grew up they had their own lives", he testified.

In the SPAK file and based on the decryptions obtained from conversations on encrypted phones with the SKY ECC platform, the Prosecution has managed to uncover the conversations of the 'gambling king', Ervis Martinaj, with his former friend in business and society, Leonard Duka, and the cause of the hostility between them.

According to these conversations, it turned out that former police officer Santiago Malko was suspected of having raped the father of the Duka brothers, Muhamet, who testified today in the Criminal Court.

For this reason, relations were strained, escalating to war between the two sides, where staggering payments were also offered, always according to the conversations decrypted so far.

But in today's testimony, Muhamet Duka denied knowing Ervis Martinaj, as well as conflicts with former police officer Santiago Malko.

Even the defendant Leonard Duka himself has consistently denied his involvement in the assassination attempt on the former officer.

In the last session, on June 24, there were strong debates in the Special Court.

The mother of the former police officer, Bukuri Malko, threatened suspect Leonard Duka in the courtroom, which led to her expulsion.

On the other hand, the Duke maintained a denial in court regarding communication on "SkyECC" with Ervis Martinaj.
