"Riti would have taken the blame for our misfortune"/ Conversations on
Behar Bajri and Pëllumb Gjoka

On November 28, 2020, as Albania's Independence Day was celebrated, the village of Mushan in Shkodra was shocked by the murder of Ridvan Ramazani alias Hyseni.

One of the characters of the criminal world in this city, close ties to the rival clan of Bajra, the "Cafi" and "Lici" families.

Numerous police forces and RENEA officers had surrounded the area, with the aim of locating and capturing the two brothers Duel and Hydajet Mehmedaj, but neither of them could be found.

At that time, RENEA was searching for the perpetrators in several villages in Shkodra. According to conversations held on "Sky", Ridvan Ramazan's killer, Duel Mehmedaj, was being held in a secure base in Bajri, in the village of Rjoll in Shkodra.

Since then until today, when almost 5 years have passed since the serious incident, Duel Mehmedaj, convicted by the Shkodra court for the murder of Ridvan Ramazan, has still not been caught by the State Police.

Ridvan Ramazani, called "Riti" in Shkodra, was one of the characters of the criminal world in this city, and closely connected to the opposing clan of the Bajra, the Cafi and Lici families.

At noon on November 28, 2020, Arsad Bashli told Behar Bajri on "Sky" that RENEA police forces had gone to the village of Dajç and were "conducting a search there for the murder." But Behar replied: "...because I was just woken up from my sleep...", pretending not to know anything.

Because Duel Mehmedaj had removed from circulation one of the people who had contacts and friendships with the "Cafët" and "Licët", Behar Bajri and Pëllumb Gjoka took Duel Mehmedaj under their protection, hiding him in the village of Rjoll in Shkodra, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the police who were looking for him.

Further, businessman Pëllumb Gjoka inquires through police officer Ardit Hasanbehaj about the dynamics of the investigation and the possibility of assistance that could be provided to Duel Mehmedaj, with the aim of changing the charge to murder for self-defense, since according to conversations in the "Sky" application and documents in the investigative file, the victim Ridvan Ramazani had first fired a pistol at the car where the two brothers, Duel and Hydajet Mehmedaj, were.

And then he got out of the car and fired back with a Kalashnikov several times, Duel Mehmedaj, who left him dead on the spot.

Pëllumb Gjoka, upon learning of the incident, wrote to "Sky" on November 28, 2020, to the officer against Crimes against Life at the Shkodra Police, Ardit Hasanbegaj, saying: "...an incident happened there, please take care brother, very seriously brother...".

Hasanbegaj, returns it by giving instructions to Pëllumbi that a person wanted by the police for the incident should send him a message not to stay at home, but to go and hide. The policeman says: “…Ok, ok brother, Milker Gjoka, tell him not to stay at home, if…I said don’t know him…”.

But Pëllumbi has no acquaintance with Mikljor Gjoka and says to Hasanbegaj: "...where is this guy from...? Let me ask you...because I don't know many details..." While Hasanbegaj responds by advising him and stating: "...don't talk too much on the phone, brother...because you'll open up trouble for us...look at it yourself...".

And Gjoka writes to him: "...no brother no, only here (SKY) brother...".

Meanwhile, at around 03:54 midnight on November 29, 2020, Behar Bajri chats with Pëllumb Gjoka, writing to the latter: "...it's okay, brother, we should have gotten the evil "Riti..."."

While Pëllumb Gjoka responds by writing to "Sky" as follows:

"...this is enough, my dear, she has a good leg and takes the whole group with her..."

"...AMEN..." says Behar Bajri, continuing to write: "...may good luck come to you...".

"AMEN, God willing..." -Pëllumb Gjoka replies.

But at noon on November 29, Pëllumb Gjoka talks again with police officer Ardit Hasanbegaj, asking about the two brothers who were wanted, Duel and Hydajet Mehmedaj.

Gjoka writes to Ardit Hasanbegaj on "Sky": "...how are you, brother? Is there anything specific that they have announced as wanted...?"

"...Yes, yes, the footage of the gas station, brick..." - Ardit Hasabegaj replies, informing Pëllumbi that the murder was filmed entirely by the cameras of a nearby gas station.

"...What solution is there...? Is there space...?" Pëllumb Gjoka replies to policeman Hasanbegaj.

But the Shkodra police officer explains by writing: "...that boy I told you about yesterday (Mikljor Gjoka) has run away. He told the whole story.

"...Who questioned him? Are you here or in Tirana? There was an exchange of fire..." writes Pëllumb Gjoka.

But Hasanbegaj responds by saying: "...my friend, there's no room, because that guy gave the details in full. He said it was their car, there are the license plates, the person gets out of their car because it's visible from the cameras. There are the cameras, you know...".

Gjoka writes to him: "...that boy can deny it...Yes, but he blocked your path and shot first...".

Hasanbegaj replies: "...yes, that's true. Only in this part can they defend themselves, because he has blocked their path...".

"...So murder in self-defense...how did you balance the cards...?", says Pëllumb Gjoka.

The police officer replies: "...in the end it will go like this. But with us (the Police) right now it wouldn't be done. That boy has shot and could go beyond the necessary protection. The murder has been committed now and this work is not done now. Let's talk about the situation a little later, because yesterday the entire General Directorate was here, with Toni, Ben Dash, and company. Oh brother, the letters were made for murder in collaboration. If that boy hadn't been caught, that I told you yesterday, the situation would have been different. It would have only been the film footage, but now there is his statement saying that I was with them in the car and that my younger brother shot. If Mikljori hadn't been caught, the situation would have been different. But they had found him at home...".

The pigeon says: “…Did you do it, because he shot first…?” (Speaking of Ridvan Ramazan).

Hasanbegaj replies: "...this is in the statement of that boy (Mikljori), but I don't know exactly. But he also stated this, that he blocked the road with the car. But you're a little confused by the fact that he says that we saw the car and followed it and there he (Ridvani) blocked our road. Their younger brother came out, he shot with a gun, he also shot. That's it, up and down...".

"...But who threw it first...?" asks Pëllumb Gjoka.

Hasanbegaj replies: "...I don't know the details, I didn't record it. But this is a bit of a stretch. Only here can they be protected, in this part. That we went to meet him. For clarification, he (Ridvani) shot first. Because in the picture it doesn't look clear whether he (Ridvani) or these (Duel Mehmedaj and his brother) shot. Only these seem to understand. They shot these on purpose. He dodges this boy, Duel, because he makes an evasive action that is thought to have avoided his shot and then continues shooting again, until it went to his head. Where can I see the footage, because even if we had left a cameraman, he wouldn't have captured it so well. He (Dueli) had gone to remove the cameras, pulled them out, left them in place. If he had taken that DVR, they wouldn't have found it in 100 years...".

Hasanbegaj further writes to Pëllumb Gjoka that during the interrogation of Ridvan Ramazan's son, he said that on the morning of November 28, he had had an argument with one of the Mehmedaj brothers.

"...Ok brother, have a good time..." -Pëllumb Gjoka replies.

Further on December 16, 2020, Ardit Hasanbegaj, after receiving investigative information from his colleagues, informs Pëllumb Gjoka about the details of the investigation and the planning of the re-interrogation in Reç prison of the arrested person, Mikljor Gjoka.

Hasanbegaj writes: "...how are you, what you asked me yesterday is certain. So two combs, 11 cartridges, 1 pistol case. Evidence has also been taken. By order of the prosecutor, tomorrow they will go and question that Gjoka in Reç...".

“…Ok brother, and the one who fired is the one who was shot…?”- writes Pëllumb Gjoka. “…Yes, yes…”- he replies to Ardit Hasanbegaj. / Ora News
