The death of the British tourist in Saranda! The court returns the file for

The Court of Saranda has returned for investigation the criminal file against Saimir Kushova, who is accused of violating safety rules at work that resulted in the death of English citizen Rebecca Gannon.

The court assesses that the investigations are incomplete and therefore should continue according to the direction to be determined by the court.

In connection with the investigation, an expert report is required to be carried out by a specialist with special knowledge in the field of diving at the Albanian Diving Federation, to answer these questions:

1.1 What is the diving protocol, referring to the late Rebecca Gannon's level of certification in this sport? (According to the "Diver Registration Form", it turns out that the selected diving agency is PAD and the certification level is OWD).

1.2 According to the acts in the court file, were the diving organizers licensed and within the technical conditions?

1.3 Did the organizers follow the diving protocol? If so, how? If not, what are the violations identified?

1.4 Who was the person responsible for monitoring the safety of the divers during this process?

1.5 Is there a protocol that the person responsible for the safety of divers must follow to be ready in any case? If so, what is this protocol? If not, describe in detail where the person responsible for safety should stay and what measures he should take until the end of the diving process.

1.6 How long does it take for a person to put on a diving suit in an emergency or distress call (if the suit has not been put on before)? The answer to this question should be achieved through a real-time simulation by specialists, under conditions similar to those of a distress call, measuring and recording the time with video footage.

The underwater tourist expedition was organized by "Spiranca Diving Center", owned by Saimir Kushova, to the sunken World War II ship in the Bay of Saranda. Vacationer Rebecca Gannon, 29, was with her boyfriend when she got into trouble while traveling underwater with a group of seven other divers. The group she was with called her to press the emergency button, which opens the life jacket and releases the oxygen tank. But the 29-year-old was unable to press it. 

Kushova had illegally employed the diving instructor in his work group, and had not provided the necessary technical conditions for diving. In 2022, the Saranda Court decided to investigate the owner of "Spiranca Diving Center" at large through a property guarantee of 1.5 million new lek. He had illegally employed the diving instructor Greta Brozi in his work group and had not provided the necessary technical conditions for diving.
