Prime Minister suspended the National Guard Commander from his duty.
During a press release, the Prime Minister’s Spokesperson, Erla Mehilli, accused the Prosecutor General, Ina Rama, of conducting unilateral investigations and declared that the Prime Minister is asking for an all-inclusive investigation.
“The Prime Minister respected the court’s order and suspended General Ndrea Prendi, and appointed Colonel Artan Hoxha in his post. The PM firmly supports the January 21st investigations, when four citizens were killed and many others were wounded”, Mehilli declared.
According to her, the Prosecution has manipulated the January 21st evidence, while Prosecutor Ina Rama has cooperated with the opposition leader, Edi Rama.
“The General Prosecution not only has not undertaken any measure towards the organizers, but they have also hidden evidence and testimonies of this investigation. Until today, none of the organizers have been penalized, all of those who had come to overthrow the government through force”, the Spokesperson declared.
Arvizu: Unilateral investigations
The US Ambassador, Alexander Arvizu, declared that the FBI examination report offers a solid base for the January 21st investigation.
Arvizu underlined that the US government welcomes today’s developments, and supports the General Prosecution for the following investigations.
“On the days after January 21st, the USA, on request of the Albanian General Prosecution, accepted to offer assistance for the scientific and technical examination of the evidence, in order to help justice with this case. The US government welcomes today’s developments and we will continue to support the Prosecution General while the investigations are undergoing”, Arvizu declared.
The US ambassador underlined that they have been engaged for an independent and just investigation. He guaranteed that the investigations will continue and will be all-inclusive.
“Certainly, the investigations are continuing for the protesters who initiated violent acts, and also for the organizers’ intentions. There will be an investigation for justice obstruction, which we also support. It is clear that our support has been stable and secure”, Arvizu underlined.
