The head of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, considers August as the month of crime.
At the weekly conference with journalists from the blue headquarters, Berisha repeated the accusations against Interior Minister Taulant Balla, whom he considers to be a politician with criminal ties.
"Organized crime at all levels has known an unprecedented revenge and we can say that August was the month of crime. August was the month of crime because like never before in the history of this country, the politician with connections certified by the most powerful Albanian and international law enforcement bodies with the gangs is placed at the head of the Ministry of Order and this is Taulant Balla.
In addition to the accusations against him in the courtroom as ordering murders, in addition to his records with gangs, Taulant Balla is the man of two phones. In the parliament, not once, but several times, he appeared with two phones, which forced me to denounce the phones that were held as electronic tools in their hands. Taulant Balla has concrete communications with leading exponents of international crime. It was a month of revenge for crime because with the placement in charge of the crime ministry, Behar Bajri and Denis Bajri disappeared - the two killers of the criminal organization of Pëllumb Gjoka and Edi Rama. Do not forget that there is a history with these: their file comes to Tirana two years ago. In fact, they are arrested by a brave prosecutor in Shkodër. He was quickly dismissed from the prosecution by vetting. And the two prosecutors who passed the vetting, Kondili and Nakuçi, He washed his hands of the file and took it to Xvehiri, who was a soldier of Pëllumb Gjoka, for competence. This is the truth. And of course the Jewel of Shkodra got the killers out of prison within months. "Operation Metamorphosis failed because 60 percent of the people were not arrested, because the killers were not arrested."
Berisha also spoke about interventions in the TIMS police system.
"But the appointment of Taulant Balla at the head of the order was accompanied by another unimaginable act, entirely in support of crime, in defense of crime: the release of data in an act in extremis of TIMS data. The entire crime and non-crime database is there. Ervin Muço, sent directly by Edi Rama after Taulant Balla, to execute this ugly crime, when he was disobeyed by the employees, whom I congratulate, he went and got a private company and took the servers in the police station and extracted the data . This is the work of Edi Rama and Taulant Balla. They need to delete the charter data. Ducka has brought McGonigal here ten times by charter. Alberto Preseci and Flavio Tosi have come to Erion Veliaj dozens of times by charter. August was also the month of crime for the SKAP party. What did SKAP do in August? The big amnesties. He brought out the bones for them to chew, so that they can make amnesty".
