August 6th would be the last day of work for miner Fari Veliu in Bulqiza.

At around 11:40, the 60-year-old rigger was working in one of the private mines in Area D, building a rig, but the collapse of the ore took his life.

After the serious incident, the police reacted by declaring that five employees of the mining entity "GERTI Sh.pk" had been arrested for the criminal offense of "Violation of safety regulations at work", resulting in death. One of the arrested, a shipowner, was released on the first day after the incident, while the others will be investigated at large or will be assigned the measure of "house arrest". The prosecution had requested that the arrests be assessed as lawful and that the investigations continue under these conditions, requests which were accepted by Judge Flutura Çuko.

According to the police, they did not take measures to ensure safety conditions at the mining site where 66-year-old Veliu lost his life.

"Following the investigative and operational actions carried out with the aim of clarifying the responsibilities and circumstances, in relation to yesterday's event, which occurred in a mining entity in Bulqiza, where citizen F. Sh., 66 years old, lost his life, it is suspected that as a result of the collapse of a rock mass, while working in the gallery, the services of the Bulqiza Police Commissariat arrested in flagrante delicto citizens Nj. P., 46 years old, B. Ç., 68 years old, FT, 61 years old, EK, 35 years old and E. Xh., 51 years old, all employees of the technical staff of the mining entity" - the announcement said.

All five arrested are employees, while the owner of the private entity, Jeton Dani, has not been investigated. He is the father of Murat Dani, a former Socialist Party candidate for deputy in the Dibër district.

Sources from the Labor Inspectorate indicate that this is not the first time that accidents have occurred in this company, with two cases of injuries in the last two years. The inspection of the gallery is carried out by the National Authority for Safety and Emergencies in Mines, which depends on the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy. This is the third fatal accident in the Bulqiza and Klos mines during 2025, reflecting the lack of effective safety measures in the sector. Employees and family members are demanding justice for Fari Veliu, the veteran miner who, due to economic difficulties, had resumed work in the gallery even after reaching retirement age.

Despite symbolic arrests after past accidents, those responsible have not been punished with real consequences, which has fueled criticism of the lack of accountability and safety at work in Albanian mines./top channel
