The next hearing for the 'Golden Bullet' case is being held at the Special Court.
The owner of a private school in Tirana, Lulzim Masha, recounts in detail the moments of terror when he escaped an armed attack in the middle of the city.
In his testimony, he describes how he faced danger, without having any conflict or debt with anyone, and thanks to a moment of luck, escaped without injury.
It is alleged that the hired killer Skerdi Tasi, who has become a collaborator of justice, was involved in this episode.
"I have been driving a Benz ML for many years, I was going to school as usual when I heard 2-3-4 shots. I didn't understand what happened, I saw in the mirror that a tall guy was loading a gun. I turned the car around and said: 'What happened?' He ran away. I called the police because I saw the shells at the scene. I had no conflict with anyone or any concerns. God willing, I survived and I am here today to testify. As they say, life is not long, life is short. I was alone in the car, the bullets were from the driver's side to the door crossbar. I can't connect this event to anything. I am a regular person, I don't know who to call, I don't know any of these people. On the sidewalk, when they shot me, there were two surveyors measuring the road. Most of the time I go to work with my wife; that day, as rarely happens, I was alone," Masha is quoted as having testified.
Masha also says that the assassin was waiting for her at a sharp bend where the speed drops.
Among other things, he emphasizes that he does not owe anyone, not even a single euro.
In his testimony, Masha emphasized that he does not know Suel Çela and has never met him.
According to him, he has only heard Suel Çela's name on television.
"The attacker was waiting for me at a sharp bend where the speed drops. He was standing on the sidewalk when people walk for jogging, sports. I don't owe anyone even 1 euro. My son, Adrian, has his own businesses and a school in Tetovo. On the day of the incident, he was here in Tirana. He lived between Albania and North Macedonia. He is very orderly, he has no vices. To my knowledge, there has been no conflict or debt, ever. I don't even know Suel Çela, that I have ever met, only what I have heard on TV," said Masha.
63-year-old Lulëzim Masha was assassinated on January 18, 2022 while he was driving his "Mercedez Benz ML" vehicle, where
A pistol was fired at him.
