The former deputy director of the Tirana Police, Erzen Breçani, who was by Sali Berisha's side when he was punched by 31-year-old Gert Shehu, was also one of the people who neutralized him and escorted the young man to the blue headquarters.
Breçani said in "Opinion" that during this time the police were notified. He also says that he asked the 31-year-old why he attacked Berisha and the answer he received was that "I did what had to be done".
"This person, even when lying on the ground, continues the violence, reacts against the bodyguards... The position itself had no police officers nearby. And we got it, we notified the operating room. The employees were notified.
I asked him for identification, he didn't say anything. I asked him for a phone, he didn't have one. He only said: I did what had to be done. He didn't say another word."
During the time he accompanied him, as well as during the 10 minutes he stayed in the DP, Breçani also said that it did not seem to him that the 31-year-old had mental health problems: "It didn't seem to me that he was crazy, to be honest ”, said the former number 1 of RENEA
