Admir Tafili, sentenced to life in prison and accused of being the
leader of a 13-member gang of hitmen for hire, denied the testimony of
justice collaborator, Kristi Pina, and said he didn’t order the murder
of Ibrahim Mani.
Tafili told the Court he had met Pina in prison and had noticed a tattoo, which Pine had made for commemorating his murdered uncle.
“I asked him about the other side of the feud, and Pine had told him about a family in Elbasan and for Ibrahim Mani. When I left prison, he wanted me to find him a job as a waiter. But I told him he could earn more by bringing me cell phones in prison. I even asked him to bring me cocaine, but he didn’t do it”, Tafili declared.
The defendant added that after his family returned to Shkoder, after their asylum request was rejected, he had asked Kristi Pine to guard him from the blood feud with the Tafili family.
“He told me he would guard them and gave me 3000 Euros. I sent him and I later learned he had bought two guns with them, one of which a ‘scorpion’”.
Tafili says Kristi Pine killed Mani to revenge his uncle. But Pine also said Tafili is lying.
“His only truth was that I had promised to guard his family”, Pine said.
13 people are accused in this process, for the attempted murder of Edmond Cakmashi, for helping with the murder of Leonard Murataj, for the murder of Majlind Lila and of Ibrahim Mani, all happened within two years.
