An assassination attempt with the balance of one dead and six injured took place in the Don Bosco area in Tirana, in the bar of citizen Fatjon Murati, a person with a criminal record, also known as an opponent of Ervis Martinaj.
Artan Hoxha, invited to the show "The Unexposed", explained who Murat is and details of his relationship with Indri Dokle and his enmity with Ervis Martinaj.
According to Hoxha, Martinaj's family members mentioned Murat to the police as an opponent of Ervis Martinaj. Hoxha added that Murati left Albania after being released from prison under house arrest.
"Fatjon Murat, by court decision, a few weeks ago, a part of his and his family's properties were seized. He left Albania 48 hours before the assassination. I am convinced that the perpetrators knew about it. This assassination seems to be in desperation, in the anger is over.
Fatjon Murati, for the first time appeared in the media, as a person who was accompanied to give explanations after the murder of Brilant Martinaj. He was then released. On October 8, he was accompanied and found in an armored car, from a residential area towards the capital, in the car with Indrit Dokle and Gentian Reçi. The police escorted the three, they had just come from abroad. After being questioned by the police, they were released after a few hours, only Fatjon Murati was kept. The next day it was said that Murat was detained because he is related to a quantity of weapons that were found in an apartment. Fatjon Murat's fingerprint was found in one of the weapon boxes. On October 11, the court ordered arrest and imprisonment. On December 28, the same judge released him under house arrest, because it was alleged that the weapons were his.
He has just been released from prison, because he is a target to be hit for these unsolved events, in these conditions, he has just received house arrest, he has left Albania to protect himself. He went to Turkey and then to Arab countries. On March 6, Murat returned to Albania together with Indrit Doklen and Gentian Reçin. The police said that they found him in the apartment and signed the report. If you ask me, I'm thankful that they left because this is where we would become home. On Friday, they left Albania for Kosovo and then for Turkey. In Istanbul, he went with the motivation that he needs medical intervention. Then they traveled to the United Emirates.
Dumani said that Ervis Martinaj gave us 500 thousand euros to kill Indrit Dokle. Then it seemed unbelievable.
One of the members identified as Martinaj's opponent, in the statements given by Martinaj's family members, includes the name of Fatjon Murati.
Murat is from Kukësi and together with the tribe moved to Don Bosco. They have been settled in that area for years. The perpetrators, unable to hit anyone else, went to the bar and opened fire.
Murat was accompanied for the assassination of Brilant Martinaj. According to family members, he was included there. He should be in house arrest. The TIMS system was checked and it turns out that it went to Istanbul.
You remember, two months ago, a search was made in Fushë Kuqe in the apartment of Ervis Martinaj. Now it turns out that the police had information that an assassination could be organized. Two months later, an assassination took place. The police are verifying a number of people who were acquaintances of Martinaj or people close to him.
The message is that no one will be forgiven. The person himself was not present, the expansion of this scene... This type of execution shows that organized crime has progressed," declared Hoxha.
