Artan Hoxha revealed today in an interview that Ervis Martinaj had bought two villas in front of Edi Rama's house in Surrel a few years ago, and that he had settled there.
In the interview for ABC News, Hoxha revealed that he had told Martinaj himself that with that narrow road that passes through the village of Surrel, his escort could collide with that of the prime minister.
According to Hoxha, this action of Martinaj was taken as a challenge.
"Martinaj has four children, three girls and one boy, and since he has them in a school in that area, he bought two villas in front of the prime minister's house in Surrel. As far as I know, he had tried to buy land in that area. I have even spoken to guards, I have even told Ervis Martinaj. Because he was moving with an escort.
'That road is narrow, you with an escort, he with an escort, you will collide', I told him. The fact that he went there, right in front of him, was taken as a challenge ," said Hoxha.
While speaking at length about the fate of Ervis Martinaj, Artan Hoxha said that he believes that the criminal-police-political organization that was behind Martinaj managed to catch him, and that his disappearance was not staged.
