Sali Berisha told tonight how he learned about the arrest of his son-in-law, Jamarbër Malltezi.
Berisha said he was at home reading when he heard the news after being informed by some of his friends.
"I found out, they informed me. They had a long time, not having any facts, documents, they had not announced him as a person under investigation and now that they have arrested him, they have not arrested him as accused of a criminal offense, they have arrested him as a person under investigation. And what did they do? From time to time, to put pressure on me, they called journalists paid by them and told you that Abi Malltezi will be arrested. You have the arrest warrant ready, but these did not make any impression on me, as neither did what I found out" , said Berisha.
He said that he feels bad about the situation since it is obviously a political imprisonment, but he is prepared for such things. Berisha recalled that there were others before Rama who tried to smear him, but they did not succeed because they never had any evidence.
In this particular case, the former prime minister also mentioned the seized assets of Malltez, which can easily be verified as having been purchased before 2004, when the groom and his brother were UN officials in Kosovo.
As Berisha said, the daughter and husband have chosen to invest their savings in real estate to get the rent, since they are both teachers and have not had the opportunity to deal with a business. He said that everything is verifiable, but the documents are being hidden.
