In October 2017, three members of the Llanaj family were injured in the Transbalkanika area, near the center of Vlora. The target was Ferdinand Llanaj, the brother of the life convict at the time, Aleksandër Llanaj.
Together with Ferdinand, his 8-year-old son was also injured in this attack, as well as the family friend, Dritan Begaj.
The family of Aleksandër Llanaj since 1998 has a history of conflicts and revenge starting from a chain of murders in Selenica.
