The file
In 2020, the citizen Leonard Palushi was effective of the Tirana County Police Directorate where he served as Sector Chief for Crime Investigation. From 16.07.2020 to 31.07.2020 the citizen Leonard Palushi was scheduled for the annual holiday. It has resulted in the following that at the request of Leonard Palushi, the annual leave has been changed from 1-15.08.2020 scheduled on 16-31.07.2020. On 20.07.2020, citizens Emiljano Ramadan were killed with firearms in the city of Tirana. As described above as the funder of this murder is citizen Erion Alibej, citizen organiser Nuredin Dumani, citizen executioner Skerdi Tasi and assistant citizens Henrik Hoxhaj, Julieno Hoxha and Euglen Halili. At the behest of Erjon Alibej the citizen Nuredin Dumani has organised and coordinated the actions that the crime weapon used in the murder of citizens Emiljano Ramadan be placed in a parking lot owned by citizens Seit Manhasa, as Manhasat were Talos' friends and were shooters. According to Nuredin, Erjon wanted to create conflict between manhasa and the Talos group. Henrik Hoxhaj, commissioned by Nuredin, has left the crime weapon to the pine trees where he crosses turns in Crrik, where there is a place located a local on the upper side of the road has the origin (retaining wall). Nuredin i showed the citizens Clavis Kapllani the place where the gun was hidden and Clavis after two three days went to pick up this weapon and took it and placed it to manhasava's servant. According to Nuredinafter the deployment of the weapon was Erjoni who notified a crime chief who was linked to him about the location of the weapon.
-It turns out that on 27.07.2020 (7 days after the murder of Emiljano Ramadan) at a service in Peqin owned by citizens Albert and Seit Manhasa, the pistol-type firearm which referred to the ballistics expert act is what shot the fixed shells at the scene of the murder of Emiljano Ramadan. From the investigations carried out, information regarding the location of this weapon was received by citizen Leonard Palushi, who later informed Local Police Director Mr. Arjan Muça and his deputy Alket Shatro, who later went to the scene where the pistol in question was also found. It turns out that the citizen Leonard Palushi had links to the citizen Erion Alibej.
The deshmia of
PALUSHI Citizen Leonard Palushi, asked about the quality of the person who has knowledge of the circumstances of the investigation among other things, explained that: On 20.07.2020, when the murder of citizens Emiljano Ramadan i was on annual vacation. Although on vacation I tried to take an interest in discovering the murder of Emilano Ramadan. A few days after the event, even though he was on holiday, in Yzbeisht, at about 10:00 or 11:00 a.m. i was approached by a citizen in covid masks and hats, about 170 cm and about 50. He met me and informed me that a weapon used in Mili's murder is kept hidden in manhasa's servant. He addressed me, saying, "You've never seen me." I walk about 2 – 3 steps towards this citizen, but meanwhile on the sidewalk came another person. I stopped as I wasn't sure what was going to happen. The two of them left towards the main road to the New Ring. I later communicated with Police Director Arjan Muça, I told him that, I had a person come to me and met me in Tirana and told me that the weapon of the Emiljano event is at Manahasat. I want to clarify that in the conversation with Polcia Director Arjan Muça we had doubts that this information could be made up, but again judging that there could be a weapon there would be help in discovering the authors of the event, so there could be DNA traces. He has stated that information regarding the weapon found in manahasa's servant did not compile it as SK2, as he was on holiday and when he went out to work was worthless as he had been released as information. He also stated that he had contact with Erjon Alibeaj with whom he met because of information he gave about the murder of his brother Endrit Alibej, even meeting him at the residence of Erjon Alibeaj. Also at his request, citizen Leonard Palushi changed the annual leave from 01-15.08.2020 on dates 15-31.07.2020.
-Regarding this fact the prosecution argues that: As above, it turns out that the palushi investigated in agreement with investigator Alibej has made it possible to orient investigations in the wrong direction by targeting the implication of persons who had no connection to the criminal work carried out. Even the statements given by the investigator Leonard Palushi are at all convincing and contrary to the totality of the evidence administered by this stage of the investigation. Statements given by citizen Nuredin Dumani as well as those provided by fellow justice associate Euglent Halili create suspicion that the giving of information was deliberately made to bring the Manahasa family into conflict with the Talo Key group for this event. In this way, as a result of these actions carried out by Leonard Palushi, he has carried out regular failure to fulfil the task by being in the conditions of exercising a public function by damaging the legitimate interests of citizens, including citizens Albert and Seit Manahasa who result in being wrongly arrested. As above, investigated Leonard Palushi has consumed elements of the criminal work of "Abuse of Office", envisaged by Article 248 of the Penal Code.
