Fran Marashi risks being sentenced to life imprisonment. The request was made by the Special Prosecution Office against Corruption and Organized Crime. Marashi is accused of the event known as the "Vajgurore Bridge Massacre", where five police officers were killed.

The serious incident, which occurred 28 years ago, has regained attention after the Supreme Court's decision to retry the case. Following his arrest and extradition to Albania, Marashi has challenged the legal process, claiming that his rights to a fair trial have not been respected.

In his statements, Marashi argued that he was unaware of the trial held in absentia during 1999-2000, where he was found guilty. He stressed that this fact violates his right to defense and due process, demanding a fair review of the case.

Meanwhile, the Special Prosecution Office has emphasized that the evidence and testimony provided are sufficient to support the charge and the request for the maximum sentence. The court is expected to make its decision in the coming weeks, deciding whether to accept the defense arguments or approve the Prosecution's request.

The tragic event has remained in public memory as one of the most serious attacks on law enforcement, while the families of the victims await justice after so many years.
