The decision taken by the government on Wednesday allows the State Police to offer additional security services against payment to individuals, organizations or different companies.
In this category, the decision also includes the persons who have benefited from the status of strategic investor with a special procedure according to the law on strategic investments.
With this procedure, there are some strategic investors who have benefited from the law in question. But are these investors threatened? Some of them, under the guise of strategic investors, have benefited from state properties on the coast for which there is a several-year ownership conflict, especially in the coveted areas of Himara.
For these properties, there are dozens of lawsuits filed in the Prosecutor's Office of Vlora over the years with the accusation of falsification of documentation and overlapping of ownership titles.
The families who claim to have inherited the properties on the coast accuse that organized crime is also involved, along with the financial power behind them.
Perhaps the inclusion of organized crime among the claims for these properties has prompted strategic investors to seek enhanced protection from the State Police, despite the fact that almost all of them have paid private protection.
