It was 10 p.m. on January 18, 2021. Still before performing the breathalyzer test, the police realized that the driver was drunk.
During the check, an officer noticed that a "Bereta" type weapon was hidden under the driver's seat.
There were ten cartridges in the comb. At midnight, as breathalyzer tests confirmed suspicions of drunken driving, a crime officer signed an arrest warrant for illegal possession of a weapon and drunken driving.
But as regular agents worked to jail a suspect, someone else from an unknown location who was wanted was ringing the phones for his release.
He was using the SKY ECC application as a communication path. Convinced like thousands of others all over the world that their secrets would remain hidden, unknown and that they would never be revealed.
The detainee could have been anyone who is detained at a police station after a search and prohibited items are found.
But in this case, it made a difference from the others. He was the brother-in-law of Altin Hajri, a name covered in numerous files and with strong connections, who, as soon as he was informed about the arrest of his relative, did not stand idly by. The phone calls start and the person for whom he wants to be released is called Julian Gjoshi, 23 years old, convicted earlier.
No one could know this episode until the day that file number 93, which investigated international cocaine trafficking networks, was divided into several smaller ones.
One of them because the SKY code "BFLSI1" made a member of the Albanian Parliament suspicious as a user.
The file named Jurgis Çyrbja talked about conversations between him and various persons, all of whom are under verification. Until an indication where he introduced himself as the uncle of a young man erases all the allusions of the prosecutors.
Altin Hajri communicates with the MP so that he can use his credits for the release of his brother-in-law.
"They caught my brother-in-law with a pistol. Don't worry, it's my brother-in-law with all that Bolin sitting there. At least keep one and get one out. Show us house arrest".
Altin Hajri interferes with the deputy about the evidence: To spoil that miracle we give...
Conversations with Cyrbje start from January 19, that is, a few hours after the arrest until January 26, not far from the time when the movements to open the cell door of the 23-year-old are carried out in Tirana.
Until that victory was achieved, work was needed and Altin Hajri is clear in what he wants. He gives concrete hints as he seeks to break the needle of the pistol. For this, he promises money'.
"How much money can we take out?" Talk to me directly. That they must be caught now. If they don't do the test, we'll give 10 euros to him to spoil that cake for us, because he only took it for his fingers. Because you got it, who are you going to tell me, except to spoil my needle. Ask, brother, as much money as you want, but I want it, I'm mad that I was drowned by reeds. Give 20,000 euros as much as he wants, as long as he finishes it. At 21, he goes to court. Thank you and from you, say goodbye to my friend Olsi".
Arben Braçe has served for over two decades in the Directorate of Foreign Jurisdictional Relations, an experience that has made him understand well the threads between crime and officials. He insists that the exponents of organized crime have always aimed at recruiting representatives of the state. In fact, they did not hesitate to approach even simple employees, in whom they invested to capture key positions in the future. These far-sighted crime investments were first seen in Fier's criminal groups. Then, these methods were adapted and implemented by Shijak Altin Hajri, as revealed in the next file of the SKY platform.
"The advancement of the representatives of organized crime in particular was very big and is still very big and the crime has progressed and has its representatives in the law enforcement bodies as well as in the police, prosecution, judicial and political bodies as you are referring to in the specific case, the case of former MP Jurgis Cyrbjes.
So the crime has had a very large area and a control as it appears from these interceptions up to the appointment of the general directors of the police, in the appointment of the representatives of the sovereign, of the municipalities, a part of the deputies and the crime has occurred in these positions and still has a lot of power and supremacy and in many cases since his representatives were in many cases publicly discredited they took courage to include their children in the representatives of the sovereign who is as ridiculous as an action as harmful and criminal", said Arben Braçe, former director of extraditions.
