Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future
The scandal of the theft at the Evidence Room of the Court of Serious
Crime might take even bigger proportions. There are suspicions that
together with the 50.000 ALL and 300.000 EUR, other evidence have been
taken.
The investigative team inspected the Evidence Room at Court by changing the locks and sealing it. All materials will be checked in a short time, since there are suspicions that some CDs with recorded conversations might have disappeared.
Sources from the Tirana Prosecution declared for Shqip Newspaper that they will inspect all proofs in the Evidence Room, where it has been noted that some money in ALL and EUR have been missing, while the other evidence are still under verification.
Stolen evidence, fingerprints not from Court staff
The investigators gave the first results for the fingerprints that were found in the Evidence Room of the Court of Serious Crimes, in which were stolen 300.000 EUR and 50.000 ALL that were seized for the case of Arben Veliko.
Unofficial sources say that the fingerprints do not belong to any of the Court’s employees, who were the main suspects for this theft of scandalous proportions.
Tirana Prosecution has tasked Prosecutor Zeqir Hodo to continue the investigations, while Tirana Police Department 3, which covers this area, are also investigating the case. None of them have given any comment.
Investigators have interrogated the employees that had access to the Evidence Room, while no measure has been taken against any Court employee, although the Ministry of Justice declared that this would be done in the first 24 hours.
There is no suspect yet, and the authorities are inspecting the evidence for any possible contamination. The thief had taken only 300.000 EUR, but he has left a diamond ring and 10 Rolex watches.
The President of the Court of Serious Crimes declared that this was sabotage and that the suspect ought to be among the Court employees, but the investigators have reached no valid conclusions yet.
