Ervis Martinaj is suspected to have taken refuge in the city of Durrës in recent weeks, while his family members reported to the police that they had lost all contact with him.
In recent weeks, searches have been carried out in the area of Durrës and it turned out that the most wanted man was sheltered in this area.
Until August 13, Martinaj took refuge in this city, and then it is suspected that the police officer Jeton Lami transported him to the city of Tirana.
Sources indicate that Martinaj chose Lami to transport him in exchange for a bribe, since the latter had information on where the Police checkpoints were located. In this way, Martinaj could move without a problem and without being spotted by the police officer.
The disappearance of Ervis Martinaj
For more than 2 weeks, the police have been verifying some information about the disappearance of Ervis Martinaj. The complaint about the disappearance of Ervis Martinaj was made by his family members, specifically his uncle. The latter has stated to the Police that he has not had direct contact with Martinaj recently, but through third parties and that he has doubts that his nephew may have been kidnapped.
Investigation tracks
The first track that is being investigated is that of the kidnapping with the consequence of the physical elimination of the well-known character of the world of crime after the denunciation of his family members. The other track is that of a possible staging in order to lose the tracks.
The killing of his associates and family members
Martinaj's associates, but also his family members, were killed. The last one was his uncle's son, Brilant Martinaj, who was the victim of the repeated assassination attempt at the Fushë-Kruja overpass that happened on August 17 of this year.
In August 2019, Santiago Malko was to be executed in Tirana, for this event only Bledi Teta was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
On November 13 of last year, Erigers Mihasi, close relation of Ervis Martinaj, was to be executed in Tirana.
