Erion Alibej 's testimony today also touched on the motives behind the conflicts between criminal groups in Elbasan and the murder of his brother and two of his children in what is known as the " Bradashesh Massacre " in 2018.
Alibej also spoke about his connections with the internationally renowned drug trafficker and that Endrit Alibej , his brother, uncle Arben Dylgjeri , and the family's Turkish friend were killed because a shipment of 530 kg of cocaine was coming from Ecuador.
"How did they secure the money! Endriti and I had started a business deal. With drugs normally, but we have never been involved in murder. We had the most important person, we connected with Dritan Gjika. Endriti and the Turkish citizen who was killed, a friend of our family, had sent a shipment of 530 kg of cocaine to Turkey. We had invested everything there," he said.
And he further spoke about the episodes of murder and drug trafficking, the motives and circumstances.
"I communicated about the murder episodes on the Sky Ecc application. We were businessmen, we dealt with illegal cocaine, drugs. We had a business with Dritan Gjika. He came and met us, with Endrit and the Turkish citizen, and they had sent a shipment of 530 kg of cocaine to Ecuador with destination Turkey. I have evidence from the Elbasan Prosecutor's Office or the Police, they are corrupt. The shipment had been sent for two weeks. They killed the two main people in this shipment, Endrit and the Turk, who had a key role in taking the drugs out of the port. Endrit spoke to people without harm. They not only killed my main people, but also hit me economically. Suel Çela had an interest in taking Endrit out of the game," Alibej said about the details.
He even went further, accusing Suel Çela of paying journalists to attack his family.
"Journalists have been paid to smear us as a family, as thieves!", he said in the GJKKO courtroom.
