"That terrible morning, I won't forget it", Elsa Lila remembers

The icon of Albanian music, Elsa Lila, after a long absence from the music market, appeared for the last time on the stage of the Song Festival.

The singer became part of the Italian media due to her arrest for being part of a drug trafficking group.

After all the great fuss of the arrest, after the release from prison, Elsa Lila returned to music after about 15 years. She participated in the song festival with a dedication to her daughter, where she received the first prize.

But Elsa Lila has been silent all this time about her arrest and decided to speak only recently. Mira Kazhani's guest, Elsa, has narrated the experience of the arrest, which according to her was terrible. The singer tells how the police forcefully entered and destroyed her house in the early hours of the morning.


Elsa Lila's confession:

That terrible morning, March 16, 2022, while I was sleeping peacefully at 5 am, sleeping together with my daughter in my arms, 7 policemen, armed to the teeth, showed up at my house. They ransack my house thoroughly and find only books, artwork, musical instruments and children's toys. They looked at me as strange, because they were looking for something in my house that did not exist, and I kept asking them, I said: "What are you looking for in the first place from me and what are you looking for here"? "There is nothing here"! A verbal process where only my cell phone and my daughter's iPad were seized. Everything was absurd. So nothing is found in my house. Nothing found on my phone. Nothing found regarding my picture. There was nothing about my figure,

I don't want to talk about the two weeks of isolation, because it was an almost animalistic experience, not human. I am trying to compile all these memories and stories into a book. I am writing a book and I will tell them in more detail in this book when it is…

I didn't need to. I met the lawyer after three weeks. It's a rare case, because I'm usually told that when these things happen, the lawyer has the right to go see his client right away. I met him after 3 weeks, the first because I didn't have a lawyer and until he was found by my friends and family who were outside this kind of environment and it was difficult for them to find someone honest who to help me. So my refrain was: "I am innocent! I am innocent"! And then I told them to go to "Google" and see who I was and what I knew how to do and who I really am. I'm an artist, I'm not a criminal! "Please, - I told him, - go and read about me, listen to my voice. Can a person who transmits what she transmits with her emotions, at the same time harm the society? To be a criminal?” The two figures cannot stand together because it is impossible for them both to stand. The beautiful and the ugly in the same body cannot coexist, and very soon everyone realized it. After the guards had seen who I was, in the following days they completely changed their behavior towards me. We conversed in a "normal" way, not as a superior with an inferior being. They tried to help me, to protect me from dangerous individuals. not as a superior to an inferior being. They tried to help me, to protect me from dangerous individuals. not as a superior to an inferior being. They tried to help me, to protect me from dangerous individuals.
