5 days after the arrest and release of Martin Mane, the son of businessman Samir Mane, Versus reveals for the first time the report that the State Police sent to the Prosecutor's Office on this case.
This report explains that Martin Mane, on January 12, at 04:13 in the morning, crashed two motorcycles in front of the Parliament. After the motorcycles crashed, he drove away and 15 minutes later, the Traffic Police found him at "Luigj Gurakuqi". The officers asked him to take an alcohol test, but he refused.
Martin Mane claimed to suffer from allergies. He was then escorted to the Police where he was again invited to take the alcohol test and refused to do so. At this point, according to the Prosecution, the Judicial Police took blood samples without his consent. This led the Prosecution to consider his arrest as unlawful and release him.
On the day of the incident, the State Police explained that Martin Mane was drunk and this result came from blood test samples. The way these samples were taken seems to be the cause of the pressures that are suspected to have been the reason why the police officer who handled his case, Azbi Spahiu, jumped from the 11th floor of a building in the capital.
