The next hearing in the sensational "Golden Bullet" trial took place at the Special Court of Appeals on Tuesday. At the center of this hearing was the testimony of justice collaborator Erion Alibej, accused of being the leader of a criminal organization operating in Elbasan, involved in several murders for revenge motives.
Alibey told the jury his efforts to physically eliminate the people he suspected of being involved in the murder of his brother Endrit Alibey, during the event known as the "Bradasheshi Massacre", where Arben Dylgjeri and Turkish citizen Erdal Durunay were also killed.
During the session, he spoke about the murder of Dorian Shkoza, the order to kill the Haxhia brothers in Durrës, as well as the efforts to find Talo Çela.
During his testimony, Alibej revealed communications on the Sky ECC platform with Plarent Dervishaj, as well as the codes that the latter used on the encrypted network.
"Plarent Dervishi wrote to me on Sky ECC. I had contact with him. He had the codes 'Barcelona' and 'Gost'. He told me: 'I'm glad you found Talo Çela'. I was surprised how he knew, but then I remembered that Plarent had a lot of conversations with Festim Qoli", declared Alibej in the courtroom.
He confessed that he had paid 100 thousand euros for the murder of Dorian Shkoza. The weapons, according to him, were purchased from a religious leader in Tirana, through the mediation of Sandër Baho.
According to the testimony, a stolen Toyota vehicle, purchased in Shijak, was used for the assassination and was handed over to Dumani along with the weapons. Alibey said that in order to gain Dumani's trust, he had also given him 150 thousand euros.
"I gave him the car and the weapons at the Rrogozhina bazaar, he was with Klevis Alla when he got them. Then, Nuredin asked for 50 thousand euros. I took him with a friend of mine. I gave him a total of 150 thousand euros, so that he could see that I had money and have confidence," he said.
Regarding the murder of the Haxhia brothers, Alibey stated that he had given two Kalashnikovs and a pistol to Dumani. The initial plan, according to him, was to kill Altin Ndoci and Besmir Haxhina, but Viktor also became an unplanned victim. He explained that he had learned about the identities of the victims from television news and that he had then communicated with Dumani about the details of the assassination.
"I told Nuredin why there were blood stains on the car. He told me: we shot at the windows and 'Kusho' was injured by the shrapnel. Then 'Nipi' was taken to the police station and Nuredin told me: 'I think this guy is talking'. He found out from his neighbors, from 'Miri Pojes', who was his friend," Alibej concluded his testimony.
