The Prosecutor's Office of Puka has signed the arrest warrant for the Italian citizen Davide Pecorelli, who on January 6, 2021 fabricated his murder and burning inside a "Skoda" type car, in the village of Gjegjajn in Puka.
Ora News learns exclusively that the request for the detention of Pecorelli has been approved by the court with the argument that the Italian Pecorelli has committed 4 criminal offences.
For the execution of the "prison arrest" imposed in absentia on Pecorelli, the help of the Italian authorities has been requested.
The prosecution has sent them a letter of inquiry with the aim of locating and arresting the Italian, who in January 2021 was reported in Albania as dead, but 9 months later, on September 18, 2021, he was found alive on the island of Elba in Tuscany.
Investigations are underway for the charge of "Destruction of property by fire", "False reporting", "Illegal crossing of the Albanian border" and "Exercising commercial activity without a license".
Along with the Italian, two of his Albanian collaborators, whose names have not yet been made public by the prosecution, have been charged.
For the two Albanian citizens who have been charged as accomplices of Pecorel, an arrest decision has not yet been made, but they are prosecuted at large.
Davide Pecorelli, had left Italy for Albania on January 3, 2021 from Rome's "Fiumicino" airport.
He arrived in Albania for the cosmetic products business he owned, where he stayed one day in Vlora and then returned to Rinas.
It was in this area that he rented a "Skoda" type vehicle, traveling in the direction of Puka.
He stayed in a hotel in this city and as he left, his car was found completely burnt on January 6, 2021.
From this date, until September 18, 2021, for 9 months in a row, the police and prosecutors of the two countries Italy and Albania, had no trace of Pecorelli.
The preliminary suspicion of the investigators, that Pecorelli could have been killed, was created because some bones were found in the burned car, which after the analysis proved to belong to a dog.
