In the investigative show "Piranhas", 25-year-old Ardit Lala denounced an injustice done to his late father, Hidër Lala, who passed away in 2020 as a result of Covid-19.

He states that his father was friends with a gentleman from Kukës, Muhamet Sula, who in 2018 appeared below the Lala family's apartment and presented 2 contracts, one of which was a loan contract and the other was a declaration. Both there and at the Police after filing a report, Mr. Lala claimed that this was a form of extortion against him, by his friend Muhamet Sula and the notary in collaboration, Ardian Elezi, who were accused of "forgery of documents" and "abuse of office".

After the investigations by the Prosecution Office begin, several investigative procedural actions are taken, including an expert report from 2019. Expert Vjolxhin Kuka made comparisons with previous writing models as well as free writings by Mr. Hidër Lala, and after conducting examinations with all the necessary equipment available to the Institute of Scientific Police for such procedures, he concluded that the 2014 "declaration" document, the name and surname Hidër Lala "should not have been written by the person in question", while as for the signature, "the possibility of it being signed by him cannot be ruled out".

However, according to the Prosecution, this was a non-exhaustive decision, so the prosecution requested additional investigations and, specifically, another expert report was carried out, also by the Institute of Scientific Police, on May 8, 2020. The document bears the signatures of experts Durim Çako and Shefqet Xhemollari. The comparison models were the same: the name, surname and signature of Mr. Lala from the aforementioned documents as well as his free writing. Even the equipment that was used was the same. Thus, regarding the statement that bears the amount of 47,200 euros, the two criminal experts state that "the name, surname and signature were not written and signed by Mr. Lala".

And that was enough for the Prosecution to question Mr. Muhamet Sula and notary Ardian Elezi as persons under investigation, but both declared that they had not forged any writing or notarial act and that everything had taken place in the presence of the parties. However, the Prosecution did not think so. Taking into account the two expert reports conducted by the Institute of Scientific Police, Prosecutor Rita Gjati sent the case for trial to the Court of Kukës, where Mr. Sula was charged with the criminal offense of "forgery of documents", while notary Elezi was also charged with the criminal offense of "abuse of office".

However, the prosecution did not stop there, as prosecutor Gjati requested a third expert report. In the document dated November 6, 2020, the previous experts, Vjolxhin Kuka and Shefqet Xhemollari, are joined by expert Gani Jahelezi, and in the conclusions of the decision taken, after examining all the necessary documents and evidence, with the same devices and comparison methods of the Scientific Police Institute, they state that "the name, surname and signature of Mr. Hidër Lala were not written and signed by him."

The prosecution decides to prosecute the individuals and the case proceeds to trial on the merits. Given that two of the experts during the investigation phase were part of a newly made act, the defendants ask the court to conduct a graphic re-examination with 3 experts, also from the Institute of Scientific Police. And for this purpose, Elvis Mako, Suela Pashaj and Kristaq Gjika were chosen, who, with the act of expertise dated October 25, 2024, would reject the work of their own colleagues from the Institute of Scientific Police, and pave the way for Mr. Sula and notary Elezi to innocence.

After these experts, from the same institution, with the same evidence administered for the case in question, with the same equipment, apparatus and comparison methods, came to completely opposite conclusions, concluding that "the name, surname and signature of Mr. Hidër Lala in the 'declaration' document was written and signed by him himself". Thus, the Court decided to acquit citizens Muhamet Sula and notary Ardian Elezi, since it refers to the last act of expertise.

Faced with this fact, the son of the deceased, 25-year-old Ardit Lala, reported the 3 experts of the Institute of Scientific Police: Elvis Mako, Suela Pashaj and Kristaq Gjika, to the Kukës Prosecutor's Office for "false expertise". However, the Kukës Prosecutor's Office considered that this case should not be investigated. Therefore, 1 month later, on June 16, Ardit Lala filed an appeal with the Kukës Court against the Prosecutor's Office's decision to "not initiate investigations".

And in addition to the legal procedures that Arditi is pursuing, "Piranhas" continued their work to shed some light on this issue, confronting the experts themselves. The first to speak about journalist Freard Rista was Ms. Suela Pashaj, who claimed that everyone is responsible for their actions and that their work is not done only with specialized devices and equipment. During the debate with journalist Rista, her husband became aggressive, trying to take the microphone from her, while she herself threatened the journalist by mentioning the Director General of the State Police.

A few days later, the 3 experts who had given a unanimous decision for a signature of the late Hidër Lala, were sitting in a cafe together. In the confrontation with the journalist Freard Rista, Mr. Elvis Mako left immediately, refusing to accept a discussion, while Mr. Kristaq Gjika claimed that he was not aware of the case, seeking information “through official channels”, a now well-known form of avoiding debate and the truth.
