The Investigative Commission for TIMS held yesterday the next session for taking testimonies from high state officials who were related to appointments in the ranks of the State Police and those who were officially charged for these interventions in sensitive data.
For 12 hours in a row, the members of the commission received the testimony of the minister Taulant Balla, who was the first in line, then for about 6 hours the chief policeman Muhamet Rrumbullaku was questioned and finally until 03.30 this morning, date On June 5, former director Ervin Muça gave his statements.
The latter, former director of the Department for Technology and Information in the State Police, is currently under "House Arrest" due to the accusation of having stolen the data of the TIMS system, but had asked the black squads for a more lenient measure.
From the statements given by the three witnesses, shocking facts related to the TIMS system, but not only, have come to light.
All the data of the Archive in the State Police appear to have been affected by persons not related to this organization.
From the testimony before the members of the commission and under oath, it was admitted that the TIMS System for a long time was not in the hands of the State Police, but of other unauthorized persons and for criminal purposes.
Chairman Ervin Salianji and the members of the Investigative Commission, of the opposition and the majority, were shocked by these statements and immediately asked for an urgent meeting of the National Security Commission.
According to what newsbomb.al has learned from reliable sources within the commission, it has been urgently requested that the National Security Commission familiarize itself with the statements of the highest state officials and take the necessary measures for the timely isolation of the "hemorrhage" of TIMS system.
This immediate intervention is required because the data of Albanians and foreign citizens currently living in our country are in the hands of unauthorized persons with criminal intent.
These facts are also known from the diplomatic headquarters in Tirana, specifically the Embassy of the United States of America, which a year ago at the peak of the scorching heat of August 2023 sent the charge d'affaires H. Martin McDowell to Taulant Balla's office, as soon as the latter was appointed Minister of the Interior.
The senior American official expressed to the minister the US concern about the interventions in the TIMS system and requested that the Albanian authorities undertake a quick and comprehensive investigation. H. Martin McDowell requested that they bring their American experts to Albania./ Newsbomb
