Prime Minister Edi Rama has appreciated the work of the State Police for catching the arsonists in the pine forest near the city of Laçi.
In a post on social networks, Rama calls on the judges "not to continue the scandal" by letting the arsonists go free, for a criminal offense punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Rama's reaction:
A big bravo to the State Police, which this summer has been close to the arsonists, managing to catch them and put them behind bars, as in the case of the criminals who set fire to the forest in Laç, for whom I repeat, as for all the other arrested persons appeal to the district judges not to continue with their old adage of not punishing a barbaric crime like this, which in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania is punishable by up to 15 years in prison
A repeated thanks to the troops of the Civil Defense Agency, which has significantly increased the level of performance during this tourist season, protecting with professionalism and sacrificial spirit the priceless natural wealth and significantly reducing the potential damages of these crimes of disgusting in their blindness, their wickedness, their stupidity
