"He has been fired and is under investigation", Albanian-American lawyer denies the rumors: False! Yuri Kim continues his duty at the State Department

Albanian-American lawyer Peter Lumaj has denied rumors that former US ambassador to Tirana, Yuri Kim, has been fired from her job at the US State Department and is under investigation.

The news spread in several media outlets and on social networks in Albania, but according to the statement Lumaj made on the "Breaking" show on Top News, Yuri Kim remains on duty and is not under investigation.

He said that these claims have only come from two Albanian sources, while in the US there is no mention of such a thing. According to Lumaj, the State Department is already discussing whether Kim will stay or leave the position he has held.

"There are only two sources that are not official that indicate that Yuri Kim may be under investigation in the US. This is not true. Both sources are Albanian. If you contact the State Department, give the information as a journalist immediately. There is no secret investigation.

"Yuri Kim continues to be in the position he has and it is being discussed whether he will continue to be in this position. He is in the Asia and Europe section. There is no investigation and these are statements made on social networks," said lawyer Lumaj.
